Grbajel is a village in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in Croatia, on the territory of the city of Delnice.

History

Beginning late 1899, HPS member Pavlić began building a road to the Hajdova hiža cave. ^[3]

A 22 December 1939 decision as part of agrarian reforms by Ban Šubašić to confiscate the local forest property of the Thurn and Taxis family, Kálmán Ghyczy and Nikola Petrović resulted in a legal dispute known as the Thurn and Taxis Affair, in part because of the relative status of the family and in part because of the proximity to the Italian border. ^{[4] [5]}

On 7 November 2024, the villagers of Donji Ložac, Radočaj Brodski, Gusti Laz, Grbajel, Golik, Belo, Čedanj and Kupa were informed that their tap water was not bacteriologically safe to drink. ^[6]
