Baške Oštarije is located in the neighbourhood of the most beautiful Velebit peaks, on the only road leading from Gospić to Karlobag. Our hosts tell us that this is a division between the mountainous region of Lika and Podgorje – a thin strip of coast on foot of Croatia’s most beloved mountain Velebit. Once upon a time there was a Venetian merchant caravan on this important Velebit passage, and the place was known as the Oštarije. They are situated at 924 meters above sea lev

U susjedstvu najljepših velebitskih kukova, na jedinoj cesti koja vodi iz Gospića u Karlobag, smjestile su se Baške Oštarije. Domaćini nam kažu kako je ovo razdjelnica Like i Podgorja.
