Fužine travel guide

Fužine is a famous tourist destination with very long tradition. There is a historical record from as early as 1874 about the first organized trip of guests who used to arrive from Sušak, Rijeka and coastal villages nearby in special trains. Even earlier there were shelters called “konaci” and resting places for caravans on the road Karolina (1737), to which Fuzine owe its development, so Fuzine classify as one of the oldest tourist spots in Kvarner, Croatia, even in the central Europe.

The village is situated 730m above sea-level. Its climate is the continental variety of the mediterranean, with particularly beautiful spring, summer and autumn, and snowy, frequently quite long winters. The average annual temperature is 7.6 degrees Celsius. In summer the temperature rarely exceeds 30°, and the nights are virtually never warm. Therefore in summer the climate is very pleasant, as are winter days with stable weather and great amount of snow. Fuzine is known for its fresh mountain air continuously provided by Bora, wind prevailing during anticyclone periods. The nearby mountain tops (Bitoraj 1385m, Visevica 1428 m, Tuhobic 1106m, Preradovic 885m) offer magnificent views on picturesque woods of Gorski kotar and its surroundings: the lakes, the villages Vrata, Lic and Fuzine, the karst plain Licko polje; but also on the sea, coastline and the islands of Kvarner.
