Lesci is a village in Croatia, under the Vrbovsko township, in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County. It is a ghost town.
Ivan Goran Kovačić wrote a poem about the accordion players of Lesci titled "Petr Breški harmonikaš":
Ako se je jókal ali smèjal
Zaprta bila vusta so i oči, -
Z harmoniko je svoje soze lèjal,
Čez tipke njeje smeh se njegov tòčil.
Njegòvo dušo imal njeji meh,
Njegòvo srce, njegov vzdih i smeh.
I celi život bil mu je popêvka,
Cel život tan'c, svati, pirovânje,
Muzìkal do svojèga je sršetka, -
I na oblâke š'l je v svatovânje...
To znadó sì: da je Petr Breški
Pri ajngeli hàrmonikâš nebêški.
To ní izmìslil nigdo, to so glasi
Od Boga prišli o mrtvâčke maše:
Čim plòvan zapopêval "Bože, spasi!"
Zagrmèle orgùlje so naše
Na tan'c - kudi muzìke Petròve -
I ko da celo selo v nebo zove!
In December 1942,[4] Ivan Goran Kovačić crossed the Kupa at Lesci in Matija Paviša's[a] boat together with Vladimir Nazor on their way to join the Yugoslav Partisans. The news was featured on the BBC.[5]
The 2014 Dinaric ice storm permanently blocked the old two-track dirt bridle path from Lesci to Košac.
In 2014 and 2015, the gravel road from Riblje by Severin na Kupi to Lesci was completed and equipped with benches.[6]
