NACIONALNI PARK PAKLENICA / PAKLENICA NATIONAL PARK

A breathtaking beauty of the mythical Croatian mountain Velebit reaches its peak in Paklenica National Park. On a relatively small area of a mere 95 square kilometeres we meet an exceptionally great richness of geomorphologic phenomena, the diversity of flora and fauna, attractive landscapes and intact nature.

Hiking is the only way to really get to know Paklenica. The Park area contains around 150 kilometres of trails and paths, from those prepared for tourists, leading from Velika Paklenica Canyon to Manita peć cave, Lugarnica forest cottage and the climbers lodging, to those prepared for moutaineers, leading to the highest peaks of Velebit, Vaganski peak (1757 m) and the Sveto Brdo (1753 m). We recommend you to use specialized mountaineering maps that can be bought in the Administration building of the Par, at the Park entrance and at the souvenir shop in Velika Paklenica Canyon.

NP Paklenica (Starigrad) is a distance from Puljane about 80 km (1.30 minutes) via Kistanje and Obrovac or by motorway 105 km (1.30 minutes) Pirovac entrance - Maslenica exit
