About This Destination

For The Hunting Party, Karlovac played Foča and the Kupa River became the Drina. Richard Gere came here to film in 2006, when streets in the old town of Zvijezda became the setting for a hunt for a war criminal known as the Fox.

Banija Bridge later stood in for Sarajevo in Renegades. Visual effects left it so badly damaged on screen that you might not recognise it at first. Stanko Vraz Street on Banija hosted Koko and the Ghosts and The Mysterious Boy, while a night shoot beneath the wooden bridge over the Korana brought Hlapić to town.

Signals Over the City, Witnesses and Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard were also filmed in Karlovac. To follow the same film beyond the city, head to Krstinja near Vojnić for more of The Hunting Party, or to Lekenik for Hlapić.
