About Fužine
Fužine is a village of about 600 people at 722 metres, surrounded by mountains. It was founded in the seventeenth century when the Zrinski family opened an iron mine, and the Zagreb to Rijeka railway reached it in 1873. Three artificial lakes, Bajer, Potkoš and Lepenica, were built for electricity generation. The Vrelo cave is open to visitors all year and is wheelchair accessible. The homes are spread across several kilometres around the village rather than in one cluster. Many have a sauna and most have a fireplace; a typical house has two bedrooms for six, and a good share sleep eight or more. About a quarter have a pool. Check opening times outside summer.
