dom motel above Delnice, which can be reached following
the brown signs from the town. If you are in a car, you can
access it most easily if you turn right from the old Zagreb-
Rijeka road at the very end of the town. If you prefer walking,
you can take the steps that lead uphill from the park in the
centre of Delnice.
