Where we are Gacka can be accessed from different directions: west from the road leading to the coast and the town of Senj across the Vratnik mountain pass; north from the direction of Ogulin and Gorski Kotar across the pass dividing Velika Kapela and Mala Kapela; east from the direction of Plitvice Lakes and Krbava via Homoljac gorge; south from Gospić and Lika across the Janjče slopes. This picturesque area can also be accessed from the sea over the largest Croatian mountain, through the Velebit Nature Park and Krasno via the Grezina pass on the Senjsko Bilo ridge. If travelling by rail, you will experience the most beautiful scenery – the place of birth of the river Gacka. If arriving by air, the whole landscape will spread out before your eyes. The Gacka region is located in a central position between the world famous Plitvice Lakes National Park, the Velebit Nature Park and the North Velebit National Park (not far from the Botanical Garden on Zavižan and the Marian pilgrimage site at Krasno). Adding to the attractiveness of the destination is the Gacka river, one of the best known salmonid waters in the world. Arriving in Gacka, you wil see it is not all barren rocks, on the contrary, the landscape is very green with forests, glades, meadows and flat plains, rivers, streams and lakes, but still abounding in karst formations such as caves and sinkholes. Villages and towns are randomly scattered in the fields in the foothills. Here people live in harmony with the wonders created by nature.

Once out of the karst underground, it shows its liveliness and playfulness after fifty meters already. It rushes down in small cascades, forming a river stream or tributaries. It lazily meanders down the plain to Karlov kanal near Otočac. From this point on it merges with the Lika River. Although essentially a karst river, the Gacka is extremely slow and quiet with a uniform flow of water. Apart form the uniform abundance of its source, the Gacka is known for its stability and small temperature differences. The average annual water temperature is 9.4°C (7.9°C in winter, 10.8°C in summer), which is particularly suitable to the fish of the salmonid family. The Gacka water is rich in oxygen (9.1 to 13.5 mg/l), even to supersaturated conditions. It is slightly alkaline as well as fairly hard and rich in calcium salts. The flora and fauna of the Gacka River is very rich. The aquatic vegetations of mosses, algae and woody plants are lush due to favorable water temperature, good chemical composition and muddy bottom. From the fish species, the Gacka is renowned for its brown trout (Salmo trutta), truly a mecca for passionate anglers. Because of the abundance of food, the Gacka brown trout grows 5-7 times faster than in any other trout water in the world. Capital specimens of the Gacka's trout have been known to grow up to 5 kg. The angling season on the Gacka River opens 1 March and closes 31 October. The Gacka River means life for the people of the Gacko polje. In addition to using its waters for drinking (the Gacka River is the second highest for quality of potable water in Europe), they catch its fish and cut its water plants for their cattle. At the sources (in Sinac and Lešće), they have built many watermills to grind grain, wooden hammers to pound and soften homespun cloth and baskets and to roll the rough blankets made of homespun cloth. The watermills on the Gacka River in Sinac are particularly attractive as an authentic reminder of the traditional construction on water and the old crafts. The wooden hammer for cloth pounding preserved in Sinac is one of the rare such apparatuses in Croatia still in operation. Come and see the watermills in Sinac, smell the freshly ground flour, hear the clattering of the mill stone and the roaring of the clear water crashing onto the drive wheel, or just enjoy the fresh air.

The oldest site in the Gacka region from this period is located in Pećina in Lešće. The traces of charred bones of wild animals and bones with clearly visible traces of stone tools reveal the presence of humans from the Mesolithic period - the transition from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic. Traces from the Intermediate and Late Bronze Age were found in the area of Vrhovine. In the cave Bezdanjača under Vatinovac Hill, just two kilometers west of Vrhovine towards Zalužnica, a necropolis from 1400 BC was discovered – one of the largest cave necropolises in Europe. It is evident from the remains of the material culture that a group of people inhabited that region who belonged to the Proto-Illyrians, ancestors of the later formed Illyrian tribes. Gacka is one of the oldest Croatian provinces. Its inhabitants were mentioned as early as in the ninth century, for the first time in 818, at the time of the development and formation of the early medieval Croatian state. the Duke Borna is the first Croatian ruler who is mentioned as "dux Guduscanorum" in the Frankish Annals, or leader of the Guduscani, and the Guduscani are called "natio Guduscanorum". In the mid-10th century, the Byzantine emperor, writer and philosopher Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus mentions the Croatian counties, among them three – Gacka, Lika, and Krbava – ruled by a ban, while all others were ruled by a duke. Thus, in the early 10th century, Gacka belonged to the first Banovina of Croatia known in history. Throughout his history, the man had left behind a legacy of cultural goods in a modest extent. During long-term periods of security and peace, the culture in the area of today's Gacka was splendid and equal, or even superior, to other neighboring cultures. Thus, the Iapydes had lively contacts with the Etruscans, that most famous cultural people on the Apennine peninsula, with the Greeks in the Mediterranean, with the cultural people of the Black Sea. And they were equal to them. When the history was more fierce and tumultuous, the muses were silent, and the remains of the material culture were becoming rarer. But what man had created throughout the centuries in the area of Gacka was of outstanding cultural and artistic value. Therefore, this area calls and tickles the human imagination to decide and reveal something magical and beautiful. This is Gacka, the land and the water. Gacka Museum Gacka Museum in Otočac is a county museum with a rich historical and cultural tradition. The museum is located in the very center of the city In the collection entitled 'Otočac through History' one can trace the events in the area of Gacka from distant prehistory, Romans, first mention of the town, wars against the Turks, Military Frontier, World Wars I and II to the period of the economic and cultural development of the city and the suffering in the Homeland War of 1991. The Archaeological 'Iapydic' Collection is presented in the objects of material culture: jewelry, weapons, tools, kitchenware, life and work of the Illyrian tribe of Iapydes from middle to late Bronze Age, i.e., from the 10th century BC to the arrival of the Romans at the end of the 1st century BC. The ethnographic collection reflects the traditional life and culture of Gacka in the last hundred years, presenting exhibits from the traditional culture characteristic of the area, such as tools for manufacture of textile products, pottery, and male and female national costumes. Particularly valuable is the Memorial Collection of the Academic Painter Stojan Aralica, a world-renowned colorist who was born in Otočac. The exhibits include his oil paintings, drawings in ink, pencil and charcoal, as well as his personal items, documents, photographs, painting tools, and books. The Homeland War Collection presents the light and heavy weaponry used in the war, as well as the remains of shells, air-dropped bombs, different caliber bullets, etc. The collection also presents the chronology of war developments with pictures of damaged facilities and buildings.

Gdje se nalazimo U Gacku možete stići sa svih strana svijeta: sa zapada cestom iz Primorja i Senja preko prijevoja Vratnik; sa sjevera iz Ogulina i Gorskog Kotara preko prijevoja koji dijeli Veliku od Male Kapele; s istoka iz Plitvičkih jezera i Krbave preko Homoljačkog klanca, s juga iz Gospića i Like preko obronaka Janjče. U ovaj živopisni prostor može se doći s mora prešavši preko najveće hrvatske planine, parka prirode Velebita i Krasna preko prijevoja Grezina na Senjskom bilu. Ako putujete željeznicom, vidjet ćete ono najljepše - mjesto rođenja rijeke Gacke. Ako pak stižete zrakoplovom, cijeli kraj vam je na dlanu. Prostor Gacke nalazi se u središnjem dijelu između glasovitog Nacionalnog parka Plitvička jezera, parka prirode Velebit i Nacionalnog parka sjeverni Velebit (blizina botaničkog vrta na Zavižanu i poznato marijansko svetište u Krasnu). Turističku atraktivnost upotpunjuje i rijeka Gacka, jedna od najpoznatijih salmonidnih voda na svijetu. Došavši u Gacku uvjeriti ćete se da ovo nije prostor sav u surom kamenu, naprotiv sve je zeleno: šume, proplanci, livade i ravna polja, rijeka i potoci, jezera, premda je priroda bogata svim krškim oblicima, špiljama, ponorima. Naselja su nehajno raštrkana poljima u podnožju brda. U ovu čaroliju koju stvori priroda, skladno se uklopio čovjek.

Nakon izlaska iz krškog podzemlja već nakon pedesetak metara pokazuje svoju živahnost i razigranost rušeći se u malim slapovima tvoreći riječnu maticu ili pritoke. Lijeno dalje vijuga ravnicom do Karlova kanala kod Otočca, iza kojega se spaja s rijekom Likom. Iako je po svim svojim osobinama krška rijeka, Gacka je izuzetno spora i mirnog toka i ujednačene količine vode. Osim ujednačene izdašnosti izvora, Gacka je poznata i po stalnosti i malenim razlikama temperature. Prosječna godišnja temperatura iznosi 9,4°C (zimi 7,9°C, ljeti 10,8°C) što izuzetno pogoduje ribama iz porodice salmonida. Vode su rijeke Gacke bogate kisikom (p,1 do 13,5 mg/l), čak prezasićene, a po kemijskom sastavu blago alkalna, te prilično tvrda i obiluje kalcijevim solima. Flora i fauna rijeke Gacke vrlo je bogata. Vodeno je raslinje bujno zbog povoljne temperature vode, ugodnog kemijskog sastava, muljevita dna, od mahovina, algi do stabljikastog bilja. Od ribljih vrsta, Gacka je u svijetu poznata po potočnoj pastrvi (Salmo trutta) koja je meka strastvenih ribiča. Zbog obilja hrane potočna pastrva u Gackoj raste 5 do 7 puta brže nego u bilo kojoj drugoj pastrvskoj vodi na svijetu. Zato kapitalni primjerci gackine potočne pastrve nerijetko narastu i do 5 kg. Ribolovna sezona na rijeci Gackoj počinje 1. ožujka i završava 31. listopada. Rijeka Gacka za žitelje Gackog polja predstavlja život. Osim što koriste njezinu vodu za piće (rijeka Gacka je u Europi po kvaliteti druga voda za piće), love ribu, kose vodeno bilje za stoku, na izvorim (u Sincu i Lešću) i slapovima (u Švici) sagradili su brojne mlinice za mljevenje žita, pilane, stupe za stupanje domaćeg sukna i koševe za valjanje biljaca i suknenih deka. Mlinice na Gackoj u Sincu posebna su atraktivnost kao ostatak tradicijskog graditeljstva na vodi i starih obrta. U Sincu je sačuvana stupa za stupanje sukna i jedna je od rijetkih primjeraka u Hrvatskoj, koja je još u funkciji. Treba vidjeti mlinice u Sincu, osjetiti miris svježe mljevenog brašna, čuti klopotanje mlinskog kamena i huku bistre vode koja se ruši na pogonski kotač, te uživati na čistom zraku.

Najstariji lokalitet na području Gacke iz tog razdoblja nalazi se u Pećini u Lešću. Tragovi pougljenjenih kostiju divljih životinja i kostiju na kojima su jasno vidljivi tragovi kamenog oruđa otkrivaju prisutnost čovjeka iz razdoblja mezolitika - prijelaza iz starijeg u mlađe kameno doba. Tragove iz razdoblja srednjeg i kasnog brončanog doba nalazimo na području Vrhovina. U špilji Bezdanjači pod brdom Vatinovac, samo dva kilometra zapadnije od Vrhovina prema Zalužnici, otkrivena je nekropola stara 1400. g. prije Krista - jedna od najvećih pećinskih nekropola u Europi. Iz ostataka materijalne kulture vidljivo je da su na ovom prostoru živjele skupine ljudi koji pripadaju protoilirima, prethodnicima kasnijih formiranih ilirskih plemena Gacka je jedna od najstarijih hrvatskih pokrajina. Njezini se žitelji Gačani spominju već početkom 9. st., prvi put 818. godine, u vrijeme nastanka i formiranja ranosrednjovjekovne hrvatske države. Borna je prvi hrvatski vladar, kojeg u franačkim zapisima nazivaju dux Guduscanorum, tj. vođom Gačana, a same Gačane natio Guduscanorum (narod Gačana). Sredinom 10. st. bizantski car, pisac i filozof Konstantin Porfirogenet spominje hrvatske županije, među njima tri izdvojene: Gacku, Liku i Krbavu - kojima upravlja ban, a svim ostalim knez. Time je početkom 10. st. Gacka pripadala u prvu u povijesti znanu bansku Hrvatsku. Kroz svoju povijest čovjek je ostavio iza sebe u naslijeđe kulturna dobra u skromnom obimu. Za vrijeme dugotrajnije sigurnosti i mira, kultura je na prostoru današnje Gacke bila blistava i nosila se ravnopravno, dapače i nadmoćno u odnosu na druge susjedne kulture. Tako su Japodi imali žive veze s Etrušćanima, tim najpoznatijim kulturnim narodom na Apeninskom poluotoku, sa Grcima na Mediteranu, sa crnomorskim kulturnim narodima. I bili im ravnima. Kada je povijest bila nemilosrdnija i burnija, muze su šutjele, a ostaci materijalne kulture bivali su rjeđi. No ono što je čovjek na prostoru Gacke kroz stoljeća stvorio, izuzetne je kulturne i umjetničke vrijednosti. Zato ovaj kraj poziva i golica ljudsku maštu da se odluči otkriti nešto čarobno i lijepo. - To je Gacka, zemlja i voda. Muzej Gacke Muzej Gacke Otočac je zavičajni muzej smješten u samom centru grada koji ima bogatu povijesnu i kulturnu tradiciju. Kroz zbirku "Otočac kroz povijest" mogu se pratiti događanja na prostoru Gacke od daleke prapovijesti, dolaska Rimljana, nastanka i prvih spominjanja grada, borbi s Turcima, Vojne krajine, I. i II. sv. rata, te do razdoblja gospodarskog i kulturnog razvitka grada i stradanja u Domovinskom ratu 1991. godine. Arheološkom "Japodskom" zbirkom predstavljen je kroz predmete materijalne kulture: nakit, oružje, oruđe, posuđe, život i rad ilirskog plemena Japoda od sredine kasnog brončanog doba, tj. 10. st. prije Krista pa sve do dolaska Rimljana krajem 1. st. prije Krista. Etnografska zbirka ocrtava tradicijski život i kulturu Gacke u posljednjih stotinjak godina kroz izložene predmete tradicijske kulture karakteristične za ovo područje, alatke za izradu tekstilnih proizvoda, proizvoda od gline te mušku i žensku narodnu nošnju. Osobito vrijedna je Spomen zbirka akademskog slikara Stojana Aralice rodom iz Otočca, svjetski poznatog koloriste. Izložena su autorova ulja na platnu, crteži u tušu, olovci i ugljenu, njegovi osobni predmeti, isprave, fotografije, slikarski alat i knjige. U zbirci iz Domovinskog rata izloženo je lako i teško naoružanje korišteno u ratu, ostaci granata, avionskih bombi, zrna raznih kalibara i dr., te kronologija ratnih zbivanja uz fotografije oštećenih objekata i zgrada.
