Klobuk has got its name from the Klobuk hill (468m), that's central to the place, whose specific shape resembles a type of hat. (Klobuk eng. hat)

Klobuk has 12 hamlets that are quite scattered around - Kapel Mala, Pržine, Šiljevište, Borajna, Zastražnica, Poljane, Vlake, Čuljkova Njiva, Dabranja, Brdo, Osoje and Drače.

Klobuk, namely its hamlet Šiljevište, has become increasingly popular amongst Catholic pilgrims who flock here to visit the birth place of a God's Servant, the Venerable Petar Barbaric, to worship him and pray for his intercession at this sanctuary that consists of Petar's refurbished old house where he grew up, and a recently blessed chapel serving as a place for gathering and worship.


History


Klobuk was first mentioned in 1585 in an Ottoman list of villages.[1]
