The newly renovated Hotel Frankopan recently opened its doors in Ogulin, a town of fairy tales and mystery. This small four-star hotel situated in the very town centre is housed in a building that was built in the 18th century for the local administration. It was expanded in the 19th century, and converted at the end of that century as a hotel and hospitality area and has now been renovated once again, respecting all conservationist regulations.

In the direct vicinity of the hotel is the 16th century Castle Frankopan and so it has itself been declared a cultural monument and judged to be a building of exceptionally urban architecture and historical significance. It is surrounded by a stunning landscape and a view shoots out from it over the picturesque valley of the Dobra River and the mystical Mount Klek, the inspiration of many fairy tales and stories.

Ogulin is the right spot for people looking for a quiet vacation.

Pleasant strolls in the town where Croatian writer Ivana Brlic Mažuranic – the Croatian Andersen – was born on April 18th of 1874, leave a deep impression on visitors any time of the year, but especially during the Ogulin festival of fairy tales, traditionally held for two days in June. Old legends and tales of the mystical land under Mount Klek come to life then.

During your stay in Hotel Frankopan an active outdoor holiday can be organised, with extreme sports, exploration of the natural beauty and whatever else you desire.

There is also an offer of mountain biking on mapped cycling trails, horseback riding, diving, hiking, speleological excursions and mountain climbing. A trip to nearby Lake Sabljaci, to the valley of the Dobra river or to the 20 kilometre distant Bjelolasica with its ski trails, is something that will certainly provide for collecting some strength from nature – earth, mountains, fresh air, healthy food and hospitable people.
