Water temperature…
Lič is situated at an altitude of over 700 meters in the heart of Gorski Kotar, just a few kilometers from the tourist town of Fužine. The village is positioned in the vast Ličko polje, a karst field that is often covered in snow during winter and has lush green pastures in summer. The region is a paradise for hikers and cyclists who appreciate the fresh mountain air and dense coniferous forests. The spiritual center of the village is the Church of Our Lady of the Snow in the Lič field, a significant pilgrimage site. It is said that in 1733, Mary appeared here in the snow. Besides its religious importance, Lič also provides cultural insights in a small ethnographic museum. Proximity to lakes Bajer and Lepenica makes it a handy destination for a combined mountain and lake holiday, far from the summer heat of the coast.
