TESLA TOUR: EXPERIENCE THE SCIENCE – ENJOY THE SILENCE

Nikola Tesla is one of the biggest innovators in the history of mankind. Tesla’s inventions created the conditions for the electrification of the world and started a new industrial revolution. He laid the foundation for the development of radio technology, telecommunications, and remote control machinery and radar. All his inventions were in accordance with nature and had no harmful impact on the environment as well as the electric vehicle named after him and by which we are going to do our Tesla Tour. Your excellent English speaking driver-guide will pick you up at your hotel or private accommodation and drive you towards our first stop Smiljan – Tesla’s birthplace. Smiljan is a village in the mountainous region of Western Lika, about 6 km northwest of Gospić.

Here we will visit The Memorial Center “Nikola Tesla”. Tesla’s life is presented in the Birth house. And in the attic, you can find his most important inventions. In a demonstration laboratory, which is a copy of Tesla”s laboratory from Colorado Springs, you can join the experiment with a high-frequency current. Then we go to see Karlovac, the town on four rivers with numerous green areas. This is the place where Nikola Tesla went to high school. After a short walk past Tesla’s former house, we arrive at our next stop – AQUATIKA, a unique freshwater aquarium on the banks of the Korana River. The aquarium displays Croatian freshwater fish fauna and plants and their habitats, with more than 80 species of fish, including 30 endemic species, which are plants or animal species that are only found in one specific geographic area. The aquarium has been designed as a two-story building with a ground floor and an underground level and includes three buildings with an open area between them. Thanks to the green garden roof concept, the aquarium has a minimal impact on the landscape, and the green vistas of the surrounding areas have been preserved.
