The National Park of Paklenica lies between the highest peak of Mt. Velebit (Vaganski vrh, 1758m) and the Adriatic Coast, extending over an area of 95km². Its most attractive features are the monumental canyons of Velika and Mala Paklenica, whose steep cliffs rising up over 400m have made Paklenica a world famous mountain climbing destination.
The old beech forests, the second biggest black pine reserve in Europe, the mysterious caves, endemic plants and abundant fauna enrich this primeval natural ambience. Paklenica National Park provides a challenge to every nature lover: walker, mountaineer, alpinist, or adventurer.
