About Duga Resa

Duga Resa is a town in Karlovac County, Croatia. It is located south-west of Zagreb.

The earliest reference to Duga Resa is from the year 1380. There are several theories on how the then-village acquited the name: one is that "resa" is reference to the town people's folk costumes, another is that it is named from the native plant that grows in the area, both on the land and in the water.

The village soon grew into a town during the industrialization of the area in the late 19th and early 20th century. Today, there are 12,114 inhabitants in the municipality, 96% which are Croats. Its geographic location gives the town very hot summers and very cold winters.

Popular activities include fishing, rafting, hunting, boating, swimming, volleyball, soccer, and biking. The local church St. Peters (Sveti Petar) dates back to the 14th century.
