Abstract
The paper is written in the form of itinerary along historical roads named Karolina and Luisiana. It is based on collected bibliographical data, especially of authors from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century (D. Hirc, E. Laszowski, R. Strohal, etc.), as well as on ethnological notes made by the author during field research in the Littoral and Gorski kotar throughout the years. Data collected within the project entitled Putovi baštine – S obje strane rijeke Kupe (Heritage paths – on both banks of the river Kupa), which the author launched and led at the beginning of our century, were used as well.
The paper is divided into three parts (corresponding to the historical regional-administrative division – in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in the 19th century – into districts covering a part of the Littoral and Gorski kotar – along the river Kupa up to Karlovac). The first part tackles traditional architecture, folk costumes, traditional cottage industries and crafts, as well as customs and festivities characteristic of a part of the Littoral (historical Rijeka-Bakar district); there follows the analysis of the same traditional elements and their modern remnants in the area of Gorski kotar (historical Lokve-Delnice and Severin districts); lastly, the same topic is tackled regarding the area in the lower flow of the river Kupa (historical Karlovac district – Prikuplje). Thereby, it is endeavoured to encompass the characteristics of material and spiritual space along the historical roads Karolina and Luisiana in the time when they were built, as well as to offer notes on the elements of this heritage that have survived until the present.
