It is settled in the region of Donje Pokuplje on the left bank of river Kupa, about ten kilometers from Karlovac.

During the 17th and the 18th century, Rečica was an important traffic locality because it was a place of cargo (mainly grain) discharge during the low water level of Kupa.

The most important cultural and historical monument of Rečica and its surroundings is the Drašković castle, a remnant of a much bigger seigniory.

The castle's most famous owner is the count Janko Drašković, who lived here in the first half of the 19th century.

Rečica also has an elementary school, an infirmary, a dentist, a veterinary, a grocery store and a cafe.
