Seven kilometers west of Ogulin at the river Vitunjčica, a tributary of the River Dobra (Kupa), are the ruins of the medieval Frankopan city Vitunj, about which little is known, only that in 1575, the settlement was abandoned permanently. During the Ottoman incursions, the area was deserted until 1639, when Frankopans settled Vlachs from Petrova fields.
On the coast of the Vitunjčica River there is a small consumer trout fishing farm.
Name
Vitunj is likely derived from the anthroponym Vitun, itself an addition of the suffix -unъ/-unь to the Christian nameVid/Vit (< Latin: Vitus).[4]:47,48
