Karlovac county - Karlovačka županija is a county in central Croatia, with the administrative center in Karlovac. The city of Karlovac is another fort from the times of the Military Frontier. It was built as a six-side star fort in the 16th century at the point of confluence of four rivers.

The county itself extends towards the north to the water springs of Jamnica (the logos of which everyone must have seen on Janica Kostelić's winter caps, but which is equally award-winning on its own), and towards the south all the way down to the mountainous regions of Gorski kotar and Lika, in particular to the Bjelolasica mountain which features the largest winter sport recreation center in the country.
