About
A hundred kilometers of Croatian wildness. From Zavižan’s cool pines to Starigrad Paklenica’s sun-soaked cliffs, the Velebitski Planinarski Put unfolds over nine stages, each revealing a new facet of Velebit Mountain.
Elevation gain? 3,858 meters.
Expect rocky trails, dense forests, and the scent of wild rosemary. Along the way, you’ll pass Lubenovac and Prpić, where history whispers through the trees.
Ideal for newcomers, it’s a week of discovery, accessible year-round, with spring and autumn offering the best weather. Adventure awaits.
