CROATIAN AND INTERNATIONAL COPPER AND SALT ROUTES IN THE PART OF EUROPE
Berislav Šebečić
Sažetak
Middle Ages as well as in modern times. Those were caravan and cart routes and navigable river routes adapted to the possibilities of the then traffic. The iinportance of the copper and salt trade has been fin pointed out. From ancient times up until the mid-nineteenth century copper was pro-duced from copper ores in Rude near Samobor and from the mid-nine-teenth century until the beginning of the World War I mostly in Trgovi and Bešinac in Trgovska gora. The main copper trade was carried out from Rude over Dubovac (Karlovac, later on) and Vrbovsko to Bakar and later on to Rijeka. I have named that the most important Croatian copper route. Intense intenational trade through Croatia that took place at the late fifteenth and in the course of the sixteenth centuries was a combination of river and cart traffic from the former foundries iu Bans-ka Bistrica (in Slovakia today)over Budim, Zagreb, Dubovac and Mod-ruš to Senj from where cargo was loaded on the ships sailing to Venice and all over the world. That route I have named the intenational copper route.
Sea-salt was transported from the Adriatic saltvorks towards inland areas (Croatia salts routes); rock-salt was imported from Hungarian salt-works (todaj in ihe western Roumania) and from the Tuzla salts works to the northern part of Croatia (International salt routes).
