Characteristics
Tomašnica is a village in Karlovac County, Croatia, known for its natural surroundings—hills, forests, vineyards, creeks, and springs—and its hospitable people. During World War II 41 residents of Tomašnica lost their lives. The village is connected to the neighboring village of Zadobarje by a wooden bridge.[5]
People from the area around Netretić are often referred to as Brajci. In Tomašnica and the surrounding region, locals speak a mixture of all three Croatian dialects, a mixed dialect known as brajski govor or govor ozaljskog književnog kruga.
Many Tomaščani (people from Tomašnica) now live abroad, particularly in Australia and Canada, and many return to Croatia during the summer to visit their homeland.
