Pakrac

Pakrac is a town in western Slavonia, Croatia, population 4,772, total municipality population 8,855 (census 2001).

The location of Pakrac on the railroad connecting the regions of Posavina and Podravina and its closeness to the Lipik spa render the town an important place in tourism, especially transit. Important sacral buildings from the 18th century are located in the historic core of the town, as well as the palace of Baron Trenk and the remains of one of the first Croatian mints, the so-called Spahija's Cellar.

The Pakra river and the nearby mountains Psunj and Ravna Gora are recreational grounds in the immediate vicinity of the town. The top of Brezovo Polje (984 m) on Psunj Mountain is the highest peak of Pozesko Gorje and Slavonia on the whole.
