The Kosinj subregion is in many ways an interesting, even unique area, that captures every chance traveler with its true beauty. The historical circumstances wanted it to remain  „ungrazed“ by industrialization and big roads. The valley is totally free from pollution , it is clean, glittering in its natural glow ; this is  nowadays  without any doubt  an unrevokable comparative privilege that not many places on the mainland can take pride in.
Lasco de Kosin, where the princes of Kosinj had their seat, is mentioned in the year of our Lord 1071, in the charter of the Croatian king Petar Krešimir IV.
This truly preserved and interesting natural environment  is ihabited by a great number of  plant and animal species; just to mention  the indigenous grape-vines, flax, cornelian cherry, minnow, otter, olm and many others. It should also be mentioned that the  Tsar  fir  in the mountainous  region Bovan is the biggest tree in Velebit and the biggest tree of the old continent, and that in the meanders  of the Lika river which winds through the fields to its chasm Begovac probably the greatest carps in Europe were caught.
The Kosinj valley is full of miraculously beautiful  caves, pot-holes and karst valley, numerous water- wells, pools, springs, and as one of the symbols of Kosinj imposed with its dominant stature the mountain-top Kalić ( 969 metres above sea-level), offering magnificent  view of Zavižan, Krasno, Ljubovo, Perušić and a large part of the Kosinj Valley.
