Arrival in Očura – The Ivanšćica Mountain range was once known in the Middle Ages by the ominous name of Očura, which now refers to a village and the surrounding quarries. The name Očura has become synonymous with environmental destruction, caused by mining activities and the related truck traffic. The road running along the valley floor also serves as a mining route, as it connects the quarries, the weigh station, and the truck parking areas. In comparison, the railway can be considered the lesser of two evils, as trains do not burden the traffic of the road. (Očura / Croatia, 12 September 2023, 9:06 CET)
