Senj is a town in the northern part of Croatian Adriatic coast, located in the foothills of Mala Kapela and Velebit mountains, just across the Island of Krk. This location, throughout history, provided Senj with a very good position to fight off invasions. The town's symbol is actually a defensive structure - fortress called Nehaj which served as a fortification against Ottoman invasions during the 16th and 17th centuries. Nehaj fortress provided a base for the Uskok guerilla fighters who fought off Ottomans but also engaged in occasional fights with Venice.

The road's route has been slightly altered as it acquired its modern form. If you are interested, I have filmed the entire road in Karlovac - Senj direction so you can check it out:
