In 1651 in Brod na Kupi, Petar Zrinski built his palace, probably at the site of an earlier, 15th-century Frankopan castle. Due to more intense exploitation of natural resources, he transferred administration and judiciary from their earlier centres in Vinodol (Hreljin, Bribir, Ledenice) to Brod na Kupi. Today, the castle is a simple three-storey masonry structure with a hipped roof. It seems that in the beginning, the third floor was built from wood. On the ground floor, connected with Kupica and a nearby cavern through an underground tunnel, the original layout has been preserved, while the first and the second floor underwent reconstruction at a later date. This attractive and valuable building serves as both a fortification and an abode, making it a court-palace with special value. In terms of defence capabilities, the castle was equipped with loopholes on all fa\u00e7ades, with a box-machicolation on the last floor, which was a walled structure with an opening through which hot lead, oil and rocks were dropped on enemies trying to break through.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Zrinski Castle hosts the \u201cWilderness with a Sea View\u201d permanent exhibition of the Natural History Museum and a Routes of the Frankopans Interpretation Centre, where you can find out more about the rich fauna of Gorski Kotar and the Frankopan family\u2019s history in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Zrinski Castle is a monument par excellence.

After a ride through the Kupa river valley comes an ascent to Skrad and from there on, a ride down the Louisiana road to Kupjak. All that is left to do is to return to Ravna Gora and have a meal at one of its eateries.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","post_title":"Rivers of life","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"rivers-of-life","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-19 14:33:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-19 13:33:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/gorskikotarbike.com\/routes\/rijeke-koje-zivot-znace\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"route","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":7279,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2024-12-15 22:27:59","post_date_gmt":"2024-12-15 21:27:59","post_content":"<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Skrad is a village with the most beautiful view of the Kupa river valley, the surrounding peaks stretching to the Alps, and wherever the road takes you from the centre of Skrad, you will meet inclines and fun downhill rides. Therefore, this trail will also reward you with a long descent through the hamlets of Gorica, Rasohe and Ravan, all the way to the village of \u010cedanj in the Kupa river valley. Enjoy its mild climate at only 200 metres above sea level as you cycle upstream the tame landscapes of the Kupa river. In Brod na Kupi, your senses will be overwhelmed by the smell of delicious sweet rolls and buns from the local bakery, and the permanent exhibition of the Zrinski Castle is also a must-visit. Then, continue cycling along the Kupica river and the Curak stream, all the way to the protected landscape of Zeleni Vir. Exercise caution on the trail along the Curak stream, as frequent torrents cause changes to the terrain. In these spots, it is best to push your bike forward.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Take a break and enjoy this gem \u2013 one of the most beautiful Croatian canyons with its astonishing rapid flows and inhospitable steep rocks. The final 3.5 kilometres lead you uphill to Skrad, where you can reminisce on the whole experience.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->","post_title":"Water as the source of life","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"water-as-the-source-of-life","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-19 15:11:39","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-19 14:11:39","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/gorskikotarbike.com\/routes\/voda-kao-izvor-zivota\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"route","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"kind":146},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zrinski Castle - Gorski kotar Bike<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gorskikotarbike.com\/en\/attractions\/kastel-zrinski\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Zrinski Castle - Gorski kotar Bike\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Zrinski Castle is a monument par excellence.
