Bakargrad s nogama u moru, a glavom u oblacima

Jedan od najstarijih gradova na sjevernom Jadranu, smjestio se poput bisera u naruje duboke Bakarske vale. Prvo naselje na podruju dananjeg grada Bakra nastalo je jo najvjerojatnije u pretpovijesno doba, odnosno u 3. ili 2. tisuljeu prije Krista, a osnovali su ga Iliri, tj. ilirsko pleme Liburna. Oni su nam ujedno i ostavili najstariji poznati naziv za dananji grad Bakar, a to je Vel-Kier (Kameni zaljev). Takoer, vano je spomenuti da su predstavnici Grada Bakra supotpisnici poznatog Vinodolskog zakonika (1288.), u kojem se prvi puta spominje sadanje ime grada - Bakar.

Bakar

No, nije Bakar samo mjesto gdje se Sredozemno more najdublje uvuklo u europsko kopno. Za njega kau da je grad s nogama u moru, a glavom u oblacima. Naime, podruje Grada Bakra protee se od Bakarskog zaljeva do vrha Risnjaka (1528 m) i zauzima povrinu od oko 12.560 ha, te obuhvaa 9 naselja: Bakar, Hreljin, Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Plosna, Ponikve, Praputnjak, krljevo i Zlobin.

Ako svemu tome pridodamo prirodna bogatstva i raznolikosti, kulturno i tradicijsko nasljee, ve uhodane vjerske, kulturne i puke manifestacije, raznolikost terena i vegetacije, velike visinske razlike te bogat biljni i ivotinjski svijet, onda moemo slobodno zakljuiti kako je rije o gradu koji e vas snagom svoje slavne prolosti namamiti da ga obiete, osjetite duh prohujalih vremena, doivite ari raznolike i bogate vegetacije, ali i da uivate u jedinstvenim pogledima na plavetnilo koje se prostire pod njegovim planinskim vrhovima.

A town with its feet in the sea and its head in the clouds

One of the oldest towns on the northern Adriatic it is, like a pearl, embraced by the deep Bakar Bay. The first settlement on the area of the todays town of Bakar most probably appeared in the prehistoric period, that is, in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC and was founded by the Illyrians, that is, by the Illyrian tribe, known as the Liburnians. Contemporarily they left us the oldest known name for todays town of Bakar which was Vel-Kier (Stone Bay). Furthermore, it is important to mention that representatives of the Town of Bakar also signed the famous Law Codex of Vinodol (1288) in which the name of todays town - Bakar was mentioned for the first time.

However, Bakar is not only a point where the Mediterranean enters most deeply into the European mainland. It is also a town with its feet in the sea and its head in the clouds. In fact, the Town of Bakar area extends from Bakar Bay to the top of the Risnjak Mountain (1528 m) and covers a surface area of around 12,560 ha embracing 9 settlements: Bakar, Hreljin, Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Plosna, Ponikve, Praputnjak, krljevo and Zlobin.

If we add its natural beauties and plant and animal species, its cultural and traditional heritage, its established religious, cultural and its popular events as well as the variety of its terrain and vegetation, the large height differences and its rich flora and fauna world to the equation we can come to a conclusion that this is a town which will attract you with the strength of its famous history, where you can visit and experience the spirit of days gone by, as well as the magic of its varied and rich vegetation and enjoy the unique panoramic views over the blueness spread under its mountain tops.

Bakar

Katel / Castle

Katelgraevina koja inspirira

Najpoznatija i svakako najatraktivnija graevina u Bakru jest srednjovjekovna tvrava Katel. Ova monumentalna i impozantna graevina u obliku kakvom je danas vidimo potjee, nakon raznih pregradnji, iz 18. stoljea, no njeni se korijeni proteu mnogo dublje u prolost. Graditeljska osnovica Katela kakvog ga danas poznajemo nastaje poetkom 16. stoljea kada je ta frankopanska utvrda dodatno ojaana i utvrena zbog prijetnje turske opasnosti. O tome svjedoi i glagoljski natpis iz 1530. godine uklesan na gornjem dijelu kamene vratnice ulaznih vratiju. Graevina je to koja inspirira i koja ve na prvi pogled u mislima budi duh prolosti, avanture, ratnih sukoba, slavnih vremena, ali i duh kulture, pismenosti i kreativnog stvaranja.

The facility that inspires

The most well-known and certainly most attractive building in Bakar is the medieval fortress, the Frankopan and Zrinski Castle. This monumental and impressive complex in its current form dates back, after a number of divisions, to the 18th century. However, its origins date even further into history. The construction foundation for Katel as we know it today was created at the beginning of the 16th century when this Frankopan fortress was additionally strengthened and fortified for defence from the Ottomans threats. This can be seen from the inscription chiselled in 1530 in the upper part of the stone door case at the entrance inscribed in the Glagolitic alphabet. The facility that inspires and, at first glance, awakens the spirit of days gone by in our thoughts, together with adventures, war battles, glorious times and the spirit of culture, literacy and crafts.

Bakarski prezidi / Dry Stone Walls

Bakarski preziditradicija bakarskih terasa

Na istonim obroncima oko Bakarskoga zaljeva od Bakra do Ba karca nalaze se Bakarski prezidi. Prezidi su suhozidi ija je izgradnja poela u doba vladavine Marije Terezije. Uz njeno je doputenje lokalno stanovnitvo iskrilo umu i posadilo vinograd. U dobivene parcele ene su, u brentama, na leima donosile zemlju u koju se sadila vinova loza Belina. Od tog se groa proizvodila nadaleko poznata Bakar ska vodica.

Prezidi su 1972. godine proglaeni zatienim krajo likom (etno zonom) te su uvrteni u registar spomenika kulture. Obnova prezida pokrenuta je 2001. godine te proiz vodnja pjenuca pod nazivom stara Bakarska vodica.

Bakars Dry Stone Walls

On the eastern hills around the Bakar Bay, from Bakar to Bakarac, are Bakars dry stone walls. The construction of these dry stone walls began in the period of Mary Teresas rule. With her permission, the local inhabitants cleared the forest and planted vineyards. Women, in wicker baskets on their backs, carried the soil to the created lots in which Belina grape vines were then planted. These grapes were used for the production of the widely famous sparkling wine Bakarska vodica.

In 1972 the dry stone walls were proclaimed protected landscape (ethno zone) and were recorded in the cultural monuments register. Renewal of the walls began in 2001 as well as production of the sparkling wine known as old Bakarska vodica.

In fact, during extremely rainy periods, the watershed and the underground waters in the karst valley create a lake and Ponikve, in just a few hours, becomes a place by the lake. This phenomenon does not last long. With the first bura (north - easterly wind), the water from the lake is blown away to the underground Bakar streams. Riding on the tarmac road you will pass by a bunker that dates back to the Second World War and then you will continue to climb up to reach the Rijeka - Zagreb highroad where, if you pass through the underpass, you can reach Kamenjak and continue your trip towards Platak.

Taj dio na pojedinim dijelovima iziskuje ipak malo vie opreza, a postoji mogunost i guranja bicikla.

Izlaskom iz tunela skreete desno i nastavljate kroz borovu umu stazom do Karolinske ceste gdje skreete lijevo i sputate se do krianja i autobusnog okretita gdje skreete lijevo i nastavljate do polazne toke.

The starting point is the car park above Hreljin Castle - ruins of the medieval town of Hreljin built on the western part of Vinodol, above Bakarac, old port of Hreljin, on the pyramid-like hill with steep slopes that are 321 m above the sea. You ride along the asphalt road through the village of Rui and you will reach the Karolina road. Then you continue straight on and along the tarmac road until you reach the asphalt road which will take you to the Satniko excursion point. Close to the amphitheatre turn right and continue along the tarmac road and through the tunnel in the direction of Plase. When you reach the asphalt road the remains of limekilns - stone structures that were used traditionally for making lime from the limestone will appear. Turn left and along the Karolina road ride to reach Zlobin. Immediately after you have crossed the railway, turn right and after 500 m you will reach the oil pipe line. Then turn right through the tunnel and go down by the oil pipe line to reach the asphalt road which will take you to the Vinodol Eyes view point. Then turn right again and immediately after passing the bridge across the railway, turn left onto the tarmac trail. After 300 m turn left onto the forest trail along which you will go down to reach another tunnel. In some parts this area demands a little more attention and you may also have to push your bike. When you exit the tunnel turn right and continue along the pine tree forest trail to reach Karolina road where you will turn left and go down to the crossroads and the bus turnaround where you turn left and continue to the starting point.

Bakargrad s nogama u moru, a glavom u oblacima

Jedan od najstarijih gradova na sjevernom Jadranu, smjestio se poput bisera u naruje duboke Bakarske vale. Prvo naselje na podruju dananjeg grada Bakra nastalo je jo najvjerojatnije u pretpovijesno doba, odnosno u 3. ili 2. tisuljeu prije Krista, a osnovali su ga Iliri, tj. ilirsko pleme Liburna. Oni su nam ujedno i ostavili najstariji poznati naziv za dananji grad Bakar, a to je Vel-Kier (Kameni zaljev). Takoer, vano je spomenuti da su predstavnici Grada Bakra supotpisnici poznatog Vinodolskog zakonika (1288.), u kojem se prvi puta spominje sadanje ime grada - Bakar.

Bakar

No, nije Bakar samo mjesto gdje se Sredozemno more najdublje uvuklo u europsko kopno. Za njega kau da je grad s nogama u moru, a glavom u oblacima. Naime, podruje Grada Bakra protee se od Bakarskog zaljeva do vrha Risnjaka (1528 m) i zauzima povrinu od oko 12.560 ha, te obuhvaa 9 naselja: Bakar, Hreljin, Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Plosna, Ponikve, Praputnjak, krljevo i Zlobin.

Ako svemu tome pridodamo prirodna bogatstva i raznolikosti, kulturno i tradicijsko nasljee, ve uhodane vjerske, kulturne i puke manifestacije, raznolikost terena i vegetacije, velike visinske razlike te bogat biljni i ivotinjski svijet, onda moemo slobodno zakljuiti kako je rije o gradu koji e vas snagom svoje slavne prolosti namamiti da ga obiete, osjetite duh prohujalih vremena, doivite ari raznolike i bogate vegetacije, ali i da uivate u jedinstvenim pogledima na plavetnilo koje se prostire pod njegovim planinskim vrhovima.

A town with its feet in the sea and its head in the clouds

One of the oldest towns on the northern Adriatic it is, like a pearl, embraced by the deep Bakar Bay. The first settlement on the area of the todays town of Bakar most probably appeared in the prehistoric period, that is, in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC and was founded by the Illyrians, that is, by the Illyrian tribe, known as the Liburnians. Contemporarily they left us the oldest known name for todays town of Bakar which was Vel-Kier (Stone Bay). Furthermore, it is important to mention that representatives of the Town of Bakar also signed the famous Law Codex of Vinodol (1288) in which the name of todays town - Bakar was mentioned for the first time.

However, Bakar is not only a point where the Mediterranean enters most deeply into the European mainland. It is also a town with its feet in the sea and its head in the clouds. In fact, the Town of Bakar area extends from Bakar Bay to the top of the Risnjak Mountain (1528 m) and covers a surface area of around 12,560 ha embracing 9 settlements: Bakar, Hreljin, Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Plosna, Ponikve, Praputnjak, krljevo and Zlobin.

If we add its natural beauties and plant and animal species, its cultural and traditional heritage, its established religious, cultural and its popular events as well as the variety of its terrain and vegetation, the large height differences and its rich flora and fauna world to the equation we can come to a conclusion that this is a town which will attract you with the strength of its famous history, where you can visit and experience the spirit of days gone by, as well as the magic of its varied and rich vegetation and enjoy the unique panoramic views over the blueness spread under its mountain tops.

Katel / Castle

Katelgraevina koja inspirira

Najpoznatija i svakako najatraktivnija graevina u Bakru jest srednjovjekovna tvrava Katel. Ova monumentalna i impozantna graevina u obliku kakvom je danas vidimo potjee, nakon raznih pregradnji, iz 18. stoljea, no njeni se korijeni proteu mnogo dublje u prolost. Graditeljska osnovica Katela kakvog ga danas poznajemo nastaje poetkom 16. stoljea kada je ta frankopanska utvrda dodatno ojaana i utvrena zbog prijetnje turske opasnosti. O tome svjedoi i glagoljski natpis iz 1530. godine uklesan na gornjem dijelu kamene vratnice ulaznih vratiju. Graevina je to koja inspirira i koja ve na prvi pogled u mislima budi duh prolosti, avanture, ratnih sukoba, slavnih vremena, ali i duh kulture, pismenosti i kreativnog stvaranja.

The facility that inspires

The most well-known and certainly most attractive building in Bakar is the medieval fortress, the Frankopan and Zrinski Castle. This monumental and impressive complex in its current form dates back, after a number of divisions, to the 18th century. However, its origins date even further into history. The construction foundation for Katel as we know it today was created at the beginning of the 16th century when this Frankopan fortress was additionally strengthened and fortified for defence from the Ottomans threats. This can be seen from the inscription chiselled in 1530 in the upper part of the stone door case at the entrance inscribed in the Glagolitic alphabet. The facility that inspires and, at first glance, awakens the spirit of days gone by in our thoughts, together with adventures, war battles, glorious times and the spirit of culture, literacy and crafts.

Bakarski prezidi / Dry Stone Walls

Bakarski preziditradicija bakarskih terasa

Na istonim obroncima oko Bakarskoga zaljeva od Bakra do Ba karca nalaze se Bakarski prezidi. Prezidi su suhozidi ija je izgradnja poela u doba vladavine Marije Terezije. Uz njeno je doputenje lokalno stanovnitvo iskrilo umu i posadilo vinograd. U dobivene parcele ene su, u brentama, na leima donosile zemlju u koju se sadila vinova loza Belina. Od tog se groa proizvodila nadaleko poznata Bakar ska vodica.

Prezidi su 1972. godine proglaeni zatienim krajo likom (etno zonom) te su uvrteni u registar spomenika kulture. Obnova prezida pokrenuta je 2001. godine te proiz vodnja pjenuca pod nazivom stara Bakarska vodica.

Bakars Dry Stone Walls

On the eastern hills around the Bakar Bay, from Bakar to Bakarac, are Bakars dry stone walls. The construction of these dry stone walls began in the period of Mary Teresas rule. With her permission, the local inhabitants cleared the forest and planted vineyards. Women, in wicker baskets on their backs, carried the soil to the created lots in which Belina grape vines were then planted. These grapes were used for the production of the widely famous sparkling wine Bakarska vodica.

In 1972 the dry stone walls were proclaimed protected landscape (ethno zone) and were recorded in the cultural monuments register. Renewal of the walls began in 2001 as well as production of the sparkling wine known as old Bakarska vodica.

From the centre of krljevo you head north, that is, towards the villages of Plosna and Ponikve. After you have seen those villages on your left, you will move to the tarmac road on your right and along the railway and the remains of a Second World War bunker you will continue to the next crossing where you will turn right. Climb up through the serpentine enjoying the view over the Bakar hinterland and part of the Kvarner Bay. The trail continues through meadows and the forest arriving on the Otrovica - Meja road. When you reach the asphalt road, you turn left and after 450 m you turn right onto the tarmac road again. The trail goes down through Koritnjak towards the Hreljin Field. Although the tarmac road turns sharply left, on the right side you will see the remains of the Kvaternik Courts and will continue your way along them through the forest trail around 2 km before you reach the Meja railway station where the asphalt road begins again. You will then go down to reach the Otrovica - Meja road and turn left. After 500 m turn right again to the tarmac road and across the Glavina hill where you will reach Praputnjak, a village whose diligent inhabitants have turned the rocky slopes of the Bakar Bay into a terrain suitable for the cultivation of grape vines. The widely renowned Bakar dry stone walls where the grape harvesting takes place were formed in this way. The famous sparkling wineBakarska vodica was made from those grapes. From Praputnjak you continue on the asphalt road through Krasica to reach krljevo.

Your ride will start on the waterfront in one of the oldest towns on the north Adriatic - town of Bakar. Riding east and climbing towards the Adriatic Highway you will leave the town of Bakars old centre behind you with its dominant Katel (Castle), St. Andrews church, the Turkish and Roman house and numerous stone houses which have resisted the bura wind for centuries. When you cross the highway, continue towards Meja and just before the new highway on your right the Bakar dry stone walls will appear - which are Bakars terraces that sharply descend into the sea where the reconstructed vineyards can be found and where the widely renowned sparkling wine known as old Bakarska vodica is produced. When you reach Meja, turn right towards Hreljin, one of the old Vinodol towns that is proud of its Castle. In the centre, by the church, turn left and climb towards Satniko - an excursion point below Tuhobi to which a steep asphalt road leads. Close to the amphitheatre on Satniko you will see three trails. Choose the one at the far left which will take you to the southern portal of the Tuhobi tunnel. From the Tuhobi tunnel, the road continues on the left side - first tarmac and then the asphalt road. Soon you will reach the gas line. Continue crossing it whilst enjoying the remains of Kvaternik Courts along the forest trail and you will reach Meja railway station. Then continue on the asphalt road to reach the Otrovica - Meja road. Turn left and easily go down towards Meja where you first turn right and then left going down towards the sea enjoying a beautiful view over Bakar Bay and the ancient town of Bakar.

Uspon na Tuhobi jedna je od najzahtjevnijih staza bakarskog zalea. Start je na Satnikom, omiljenom izletitu s kojeg se kree uzbrdo makadamom prema sjeveru.

Vozei se kroz bjelogorinu umu nakon 2,5 km dolazite do terne (bunara) s lijeve strane na kojoj se moete okrijepiti, a malo dalje ete uskoro ugledati i lovaku kuu. Pratei signalizaciju za Tuhobi uskoro stiete na rub ume s kojeg ugledate sam vrh Tuhobia. Nastavite travnatom povrinom po umskoj stazi u smjeru vrha na 1108 m. Nakon uivanja u predivnom pogledu na Kvarnerski zaljev i Gorski kotar sputate se uz desni rub ume prema jugozapadu i nailazite na umski put koji ubrzo prerasta u makadam.

Sputajui se istim prolazite ispod vijadukta Hreljin i nakon 500 m stiete na krianje. Skreete gore lijevo i nakon 1 km uspona stiete na juni portal tunela Tuhobi. Skreete desno i makadamom se sputate do Satnikog.

Iz centra krljeva kreete prema sjeveru, odnosno prema selima Plosna i Ponikve. Nakon to ih ugledate s lijeve strane, prelazite na makadam s desne strane te uz prugu i ostatke bunkera iz 2. svjetskog rata nastavljate do prvog sljedeeg krianja na kojem skreete desno. Uspinjete se serpentinama uivajui u pogledu na bakarsko zalee i dio Kvarnerskog zaljeva.

Staza nastavlja kroz livade i umu do prometnice Otrovica - Meja. Dolaskom na asfalt skreete lijevo i nakon 450 m skreete desno na makadam. Staza se sputa kroz Koritnjak prema Hreljinskom polju. Iako makadamski put skree otro lijevo, s desne strane ete ugledati ruevne ostatke Kvaternikovih dvora i uz njih umskom stazom nastaviti oko 2 km do eljeznike stanice Meja gdje opet poinje asfalt. Sputate se do prometnice Otrovica - Meja i skreete lijevo.

Nakon 500 m ponovo skreete desno na makadam i preko brda Glavina stiete u Praputnjak, mjesto iji su vrijedni stanovnici kamenite padine bakarskog zaljeva pretvorili u padine pogodne za uzgoj vinove loze. Na taj nain nastali su nadaleko poznati Bakarski prezidi s kojih se ubiralo groe i pravilo uveno pjenuavo vino Bakarska vodica. Iz Praputnjaka nastavljate asfaltiranom cestom kroz Krasicu do krljeva.

Vonju zapoinjete na rivi jednog od najstarijih gradova na sjevernom Jadranu - grada Bakra. Vozei se prema istoku i uspinjujui se prema Jadranskoj magistrali, za sobom ostavljate staru jezgru grada Bakra s dominantnim Katelom, crkvom sv.Andrije, Turskom i Rimskom kuom, te brojnim kamenim kuama koje stoljeima odolijevaju buri. Prelaskom magistrale nastavljate prema Meji, a tik prije nove autoceste s desne strane ukazat e vam se Bakarski prezidi - bakarske terase, koje se strmo sputaju u more, gdje suobnovljeni vinogradi od kojih se proizvodi nadaleko poznato pjenuavo vino pod nazivom stara Bakarska vodica. Dolaskom u Meju skreete desno prema Hreljinu, jednom od starih vinodolskih gradova koji se ponosi svojom Gradinom. U centru kod crkve skreete lijevo gore prema Satnikom - izletitu podno Tuhobia do kojeg vodi strma asfaltirana cesta. Kod amfiteatra na Satnikom ugledat ete tri staze i izabrati onu krajnje lijevo koja e vas odvesti do junog portala tunela Tuhobi. Od tunela Tuhobi staza nastavlja lijevo - najprije makadam, a dijelom se nastavlja asfalt. Ubrzo dolazite do plinovoda i nastavljate preko njega, uz ruevne ostatke Kvaternikovih dvora umskim putem do eljeznike stanice Meja. Nastavljate asfaltom do prometnice Otrovica - Meja i skreete lijevo te se lagano sputate prema Meji gdje skreete najprije desno, a potom lijevo sputajui se do mora pritom uivajui u prekrasnom pogledu na Bakarski zaljev i drevni grad Bakar.

The trail starts in krljevo, a place mentioned for the first time in 17th century which lies on both sides of the Karolina road and built in the first half of the 18th century, during Charles VIs rule.Climbing up slowly toward the north, on your left you will see the picturesque hamlets of Plosna and Ponikve and the unique karst phenomenon known as now you see it, now you dont - a lake which is not just a rare phenomenon in Croatia but throughout the world as well. In fact, during extremely rainy periods, the watershed and the underground waters in the karst valley create a lake and Ponikve, in just a few hours, becomes a place by the lake. This phenomenon does not last long. With the first bura (north - easterly wind), the water from the lake is blown away to the underground Bakar streams. Riding on the tarmac road you will pass by a bunker that dates back to the Second World War and then you will continue to climb up to reach the Rijeka - Zagreb highroad where, if you pass through the underpass, you can reach Kamenjak and continue your trip towards Platak. If, by the underpass you turn right and go down towards Repite you will climb up again to reach the Otrovica - Meja road. When you reach it, you turn right and go 2 km along the asphalt road after which you turn a sharp right and go down the road to reach Krasica, a small, charming place known for its local people who are real virtuosos when it comes to masking. In the centre of Krasica you turn right and will soon reach your starting point in krljevo.

Staza kree iz centra krljeva, mjesta koje se spominje jo u 17. stoljeu, a lei s jedne i druge strane ceste Karoline koja jeizgraena u prvoj polovici 18. stoljea za vrijeme cara Karla VI.

Lagano se uzdiui prema sjeveru s lijeve strane ugledat ete pitoreskne zaseoke Plosnu i Ponikve gdje moete vidjeti jedinstveni krki fenomen pod nazivom sad ga ima, sad ga nema jezero, koji je rijedak ne samo u Hrvatskoj nego i irom svijeta. Naime za vrijeme iznimno kinih razdoblja slivne i podzemne vode od krke doline stvaraju jezero i tako Ponikve u samo nekoliko sati postaju mjesto uz jezero. Taj fenomen kratkog je vijeka jervodu jezera ve prva bura vraa u podzemne tokove bakarskih izvora.

Prelazei na makadam prolazite pored bunkera iz 2. svjetskog rata i nastavljate uzbrdo sve do autoceste Rijeka - Zagreb gdje ako proete kroz podvonjak moete stii do Kamenjaka i dalje nastaviti prema Platku. Kod podvonjaka ipak skreete desno i sputate se prema Repitu te se ponovo uzdiete do prometnice Otrovica - Meja. Dolaskom na istu skreete desno i sputate se 2 km po asfaltu nakon ega ete skrenuti otro desno i po stazi se spustiti do Krasice, malog, ljupkog mjesta poznatog po svojim mjetanima koji su pravi virtuozi u makaranju. U centru Krasice skreete desno i uskoro stiete na poetnu toku u krljevu.

Iz centra Zlobina kreete Karolinskom cestom, najstarijom cestom koja je povezivala Bakar s Karlovcem jo daleke 1732. godine u pravcu Fuina.

Nakon uspona do Zlobinskog brda poinje spust prema Benkovcu Fuinskom gdje kod kapelice skreete lijevo. Nastavljate se sputati makadamom sve do autoceste Rijeka - Zagreb i jezera Lepenica.

Bakargrad s nogama u moru, a glavom u oblacima

Jedan od najstarijih gradova na sjevernom Jadranu, smjestio se poput bisera u naruje duboke Bakarske vale. Prvo naselje na podruju dananjeg grada Bakra nastalo je jo najvjerojatnije u pretpovijesno doba, odnosno u 3. ili 2. tisuljeu prije Krista, a osnovali su ga Iliri, tj. ilirsko pleme Liburna. Oni su nam ujedno i ostavili najstariji poznati naziv za dananji grad Bakar, a to je Vel-Kier (Kameni zaljev). Takoer, vano je spomenuti da su predstavnici Grada Bakra supotpisnici poznatog Vinodolskog zakonika (1288.), u kojem se prvi puta spominje sadanje ime grada - Bakar.

Bakar

No, nije Bakar samo mjesto gdje se Sredozemno more najdublje uvuklo u europsko kopno. Za njega kau da je grad s nogama u moru, a glavom u oblacima. Naime, podruje Grada Bakra protee se od Bakarskog zaljeva do vrha Risnjaka (1528 m) i zauzima povrinu od oko 12.560 ha, te obuhvaa 9 naselja: Bakar, Hreljin, Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Plosna, Ponikve, Praputnjak, krljevo i Zlobin.

Ako svemu tome pridodamo prirodna bogatstva i raznolikosti, kulturno i tradicijsko nasljee, ve uhodane vjerske, kulturne i puke manifestacije, raznolikost terena i vegetacije, velike visinske razlike te bogat biljni i ivotinjski svijet, onda moemo slobodno zakljuiti kako je rije o gradu koji e vas snagom svoje slavne prolosti namamiti da ga obiete, osjetite duh prohujalih vremena, doivite ari raznolike i bogate vegetacije, ali i da uivate u jedinstvenim pogledima na plavetnilo koje se prostire pod njegovim planinskim vrhovima.

A town with its feet in the sea and its head in the clouds

One of the oldest towns on the northern Adriatic it is, like a pearl, embraced by the deep Bakar Bay. The first settlement on the area of the todays town of Bakar most probably appeared in the prehistoric period, that is, in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC and was founded by the Illyrians, that is, by the Illyrian tribe, known as the Liburnians. Contemporarily they left us the oldest known name for todays town of Bakar which was Vel-Kier (Stone Bay). Furthermore, it is important to mention that representatives of the Town of Bakar also signed the famous Law Codex of Vinodol (1288) in which the name of todays town - Bakar was mentioned for the first time.

However, Bakar is not only a point where the Mediterranean enters most deeply into the European mainland. It is also a town with its feet in the sea and its head in the clouds. In fact, the Town of Bakar area extends from Bakar Bay to the top of the Risnjak Mountain (1528 m) and covers a surface area of around 12,560 ha embracing 9 settlements: Bakar, Hreljin, Krasica, Kukuljanovo, Plosna, Ponikve, Praputnjak, krljevo and Zlobin.

If we add its natural beauties and plant and animal species, its cultural and traditional heritage, its established religious, cultural and its popular events as well as the variety of its terrain and vegetation, the large height differences and its rich flora and fauna world to the equation we can come to a conclusion that this is a town which will attract you with the strength of its famous history, where you can visit and experience the spirit of days gone by, as well as the magic of its varied and rich vegetation and enjoy the unique panoramic views over the blueness spread under its mountain tops.

Katel / Castle

Katelgraevina koja inspirira

Najpoznatija i svakako najatraktivnija graevina u Bakru jest srednjovjekovna tvrava Katel. Ova monumentalna i impozantna graevina u obliku kakvom je danas vidimo potjee, nakon raznih pregradnji, iz 18. stoljea, no njeni se korijeni proteu mnogo dublje u prolost. Graditeljska osnovica Katela kakvog ga danas poznajemo nastaje poetkom 16. stoljea kada je ta frankopanska utvrda dodatno ojaana i utvrena zbog prijetnje turske opasnosti.O tome svjedoi i glagoljski natpis iz 1530. godine uklesan na gornjem dijelu kamene vratnice ulaznih vratiju. Graevina je to koja inspirira i koja ve na prvi pogled u mislima budi duh prolosti, avanture, ratnih sukoba, slavnih vremena, ali i duh kulture, pismenosti i kreativnog stvaranja.

The facility that inspires

The most well-known and certainly most attractive building in Bakar is the medieval fortress, the Frankopan and Zrinski Castle. This monumental and impressive complex in its current form dates back, after a number of divisions, to the 18th century. However, its origins date even further into history. The construction foundation for Katel as we know it today was created at the beginning of the 16th century when this Frankopan fortress was additionally strengthened and fortified for defence from the Ottomans threats. This can be seen from the inscription chiselled in 1530 in the upper part of the stone door case at the entrance inscribed in the Glagolitic alphabet. The facility that inspires and, at first glance, awakens the spirit of days gone by in our thoughts, together with adventures, war battles, glorious times and the spirit of culture, literacy and crafts.

Bakarski prezidi / Dry Stone Walls

Bakarski preziditradicija bakarskih terasa

Na istonim obroncima oko Bakarskoga zaljeva od Bakra do Ba karca nalaze se Bakarski prezidi. Prezidi su suhozidi ija je izgradnja poela u doba vladavine Marije Terezije. Uz njeno je doputenje lokalno stanovnitvo iskrilo umu i posadilo vinograd. U dobivene parcele ene su, u brentama, na leima donosile zemlju u koju se sadila vinova loza Belina. Od tog se groa proizvodila nadaleko poznata Bakar ska vodica.

Prezidi su 1972. godine proglaeni zatienim krajo likom (etno zonom) te su uvrteni u registar spomenika kulture. Obnova prezida pokrenuta je 2001. godine te proiz vodnja pjenuca pod nazivom stara Bakarska vodica.

Bakars Dry Stone Walls

On the eastern hills around the Bakar Bay, from Bakar to Bakarac, are Bakars dry stone walls. The construction of these dry stone walls began in the period of Mary Teresas rule. With her permission, the local inhabitants cleared the forest and planted vineyards. Women, in wicker baskets on their backs, carried the soil to the created lots in which Belina grape vines were then planted. These grapes were used for the production of the widely famous sparkling wine Bakarska vodica.

In 1972 the dry stone walls were proclaimed protected landscape (ethno zone) and were recorded in the cultural monuments register. Renewal of the walls began in 2001 as well as production of the sparkling wine known as old Bakarska vodica.

In fact, during extremely rainy periods, the watershed and the underground waters in the karst valley create a lake and Ponikve, in just a few hours, becomes a place by the lake. This phenomenon does not last long. With the first bura (north - easterly wind), the water from the lake is blown away to the underground Bakar streams.
