# 37 Drežnik Grad – Sadilovac – Lipovača – Nova Kršlja – Grabovac – Irinovac

After the first two, relatively easier cycling tours through Oštarski Stanovi and to Stara Kršlja, after visiting Rakovica, Saborsko and their surroundings, and the two routes leading to the Korana river and the Barać caves, it is now time for the long route to Irinovac. This trail is 27 km long and is a logical conclusion to all the leisurely stretches in the Plitvice valley, north of the Plitvice Lakes. As a starting point of this circular route, we recommend the center of Grabovac, from where you’ll turn to Nova Kršlja, and, by all means, visit the Barać caves, a speleological site at the very edge of the village. The birds’ singing and the gurgling of the Kršlja creek are undoubtedly going to contribute to the impression of a quiet and modest place. There are many interesting formations in the limestone there, a variety of stalagmites and stalactites, while a number of archaeological artifacts have also been found there: a stone axe and a bracelet from the 7^th century B.C. Returning along the same road, you’ll turn towards Lipovača, where you can see one of the many monuments dedicated to the war victims. A dirt road will then take you further on, through colorful and wide meadows and fields. After that, you’ll arrive to the uninhabited, devastated village of Sadilovac, where a Karlovac dairy factory used to have a huge farm. There, you can visit the Shrine of the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in 1826, and renovated many times. The cycling tour continues through Drežnik Grad, with a few family homes at the center, as well as the Church of St. Anthony of Padua from 1883, with its nearby rectory.
