Vučnik is a village in Croatia, under the Vrbovsko township, in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.
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.[3]: 223
In 1864, a rinderpest outbreak in Bosanci and Kasuni caused the Lujzijana to be closed to horned traffic for 21 days in December.[4]
Construction on the Črnomelj-Vrbovsko railway began in 1939, but by 1940 it had come to a halt thanks to a worker dispute.[5] Thanks to the outbreak of WWII, it was never finished.
On 19 June 1942, a group of 50 Partisans set up a blockade on the road in Vučnik, stopping traffic between Karlovac and Vrbovsko.[6]
Vučnik was hit by the 2014 Dinaric ice storm.
