I am hoping to visit Brinje very shortly - I have checked photographs on the web and the place appears far too large from what my grandfather had told me however there is another Brinje on the map a few miles from the town of Brinje - does anyone know anything. My parents have said that the village was tiny. Any information appreciated.

Thanks Sergej someone else posted mapquest to me but this does not show another Brinje. Google does though when it is zoomed really close. The ordanance survey map that i purchased also shows two Brinje places very close to each other. When I do a web search for the place I only get the town which is a municipality. Again my parents say that the place that they visited was a very small place and they had to drive over a very precarious old wooden bridge to gain entry to the village. I am sure that this is the correct vilage as they recognise place names on the map. Also it is near to Plitvice. My mother always thought that Plitvice meant waterfall in English as my grandfather referred to this as waterfalls and swimming.

Google maps sometimes shows the same place twice. I dont know why.

Yes I too have found this ut also on a Croation ordenance map a second Brinje is shown outside the town as Brinje t.

Postovani,
Istrazujem prezime Ćulumovic iz Bosne. Moj deda je bio Maksim Ćulumovic, njegova zena Stojanka i jedna od cerki Zorka. Siguran sam da je on ziveo u malom selu u oblasti Obudovca. Bio bih vam zahvalan za bilo kakvu informaciju.

Andy
