Kordun is a historical and geographical region located in the central part of Croatia, between the rivers Korana, Mrežnica and Glina. It borders the regions of Lika, Banovina (Banija) and Slavonia, and a small part of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the south. The region's main cities are Slunj, Vojnić and Topusko. The Kordun region is characterized by hilly terrain, large forested areas and a rural landscape. Historically, it was a border area and part of the Military Frontier, so it has been of strategic importance for centuries. Kordun residents are known for their strong commitment to tradition, and folk culture - especially music, dance and costumes - plays an important role in community life.
