History
[edit]Lokve was first mentioned on 22 February 1481 in a document freeing the citizens of Grič from tariffs in Lokve and elsewhere.[7]
In 1860–1879, Matija Mažuranić wrote a 62 folio manuscript today titled Writings on the Building of Roads in Gorski Kotar and Lika (Croatian: Spisi o gradnji cesta u Gorskom Kotaru i Lici), today with signature HR-ZaNSK R 6424. A 21 folio manuscript dated 1872 titled Darstellung der Entstehung des Baues ... der Luisenstrasse togethr with a translation by I. Mikloušić is kept as HR-ZaNSK R 4572.[8]: 223 [relevant?]
The volunteer fire department DVD Lokve was founded in 1905, and is today part of the Požarno područje Gorski Kotar I. Its current commander is Lordan Štokan.[9]
In the morning of 13 April 1941, the bus carrying Ante Pavelić stopped in Lokve together with a throng of Ustaša followers. He went to the post office in Lokve for a telephone call to Zagreb.[10]: 347
From 31 January to 2 February 2014, while S and SW geostrophic wind dominated,[11] freezing rain fell on Gorski Kotar, glazing the entire region. It wrecked roofs, power lines an forests, causing power loss for about 14,000 households households in Gorski Kotar, or about 80% of its population. Because of power lines falling on the A6, the highway was closed in of Rijeka between Bosiljevo and Kikovica, and between Kikovica and Delnice in the direction of Zagreb.[12] It took about 10 days to restore essential infrastructure to the region, and within months electricity was back in most of its former range, but at a cost of about 84.4 million HRK to HEP. At the time it was the largest peacetime damage since its Secession from Yugoslavia, even without counting the forestry losses. The Šumarija Lokve lost 23% of its wood mass.[13] Clearing blocked forestry roads and forest paths would take years, and thanks to the declining population some were never cleared.[14]
Culture
[edit]Since 1974, Lokve hosts the festival Žabarska noć.[15]
Sports
[edit]The 1st Underwater Orienteering World Championships was held in Lokve in 1973.[16]
Cycling
[edit]Beginning in 2013,[17] the 7 stage 260 kilometres (160 mi) long Cycling Trail of Gorski Kotar (Croatian: Goranska biciklistička transverzala) passes through Lokve.[18]
The "Gorski Kotar Bike Tour", held annually since 2012,[19] sometimes goes through Lokve, such as in the first leg for 2022.[20]
Mountaineering
[edit]The local HPS chapter was called HPD "Runolist",[21]: 214 but it was liquidated on 7 October 1936.[22]: 227
Infrastructure
[edit]Judiciary
[edit]In 1875, the kotar court of Delnice encompassed a population of 28,347, being responsible for the općine: Delnice, Lokve, Fužine, Mrkopalj, Ravna Gora, Brod, Skrad, Vrbovsko.[23]
