Krivi Put is a village located in a forested area near Senj, in Lika-Senj County, Croatia.
Its earliest settlers founded the village in 1605, favouring it as good grazing land for their cattle. The nearby villages of Veljun, Serdari, Alan, Krmpote and Podbilo were also founded by Bunjevci settlers around the same time. The village celebrates an annual holiday on August 5.
Name
Although krivi put means wrong way in modern Croatian, the older and more correct translation is curvy or bendy road, which reflects its location since roads leading up to the village are steep and curvy because of the mountainous terrain.
