Lika-Senj County

Lika-Senj County is a county in central Croatia, with Gospić as its capital. 
It is the largest county in Croatia in terms of area, but has a relatively small population (approximately 45,000–50,000). 

It encompasses: Most of the historic and karstic Lika region (highlands, dense forests, mountains such as Velebit and Plješivica). 
A stretch of coastline on the Adriatic Sea around the town of Senj. 
The northern part of the island of Pag. 

Beautiful nature: Plitvice Lakes (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the springs of the Gacka River, the bear sanctuary, and the Velebit Mountains. 
A combination of mountains and sea. 
Preservation of traditions, folklore, and authentic rural culture. 
Less mass tourism → often considered one of Croatia's most underrated regions. 

In short: a rugged, green, and authentic area where mountains, forests, lakes, and a stretch of coastline converge – ideal for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet.
