All Roads Lead Back to Lika: The Journey Home
For the diaspora planning a visit to their own ancestral lands, Lički Osik is the perfect central landmark. Although the Štimac Family Estate is currently a construction site, the journey here is a vital part of the homecoming experience.
Navigating to the Future Site of Štimac Family Estate
The journey back to Lički Osik used to be an arduous trek over mountain passes. Today, it has never been simpler. For our global family planning a visit to their own ancestral lands, we want to ensure your path is clear.
How to Reach Us:
- Via Zagreb Airport (ZAG): Many of our diaspora return through the capital. From Zagreb, it is a smooth, scenic 2-hour drive via the A1 motorway. We recommend taking the D1 state road on your return leg to experience the stunning vistas of the highlands.
- Via Zadar Airport (ZAD): If you prefer the coast, Zadar is only a 60-minute drive away. You can land by the sea and be in the crisp mountain air by lunchtime.
- By Bus and Train: Regular lines connect Gospić to all major cities, offering a nostalgic way to see the landscape unfold.
Although the Štimac Family Estate is currently a construction site, we encourage land-owning families to stop by. Even if you only see a plot of grass and the foundations of a dream, you will feel the “Velebit air” that has sustained our people for centuries.
