Park prirode Velebit

Nature Park Velebit is Croatia’s largest protected area, established for its natural value and importance to biodiversity conservation. Stretching along the Adriatic coast, the park brings together mountain landscapes, diverse plant and animal life, geological features, waterways, and a rich cultural heritage. Managed by the Public Institution Nature Park Velebit, it welcomes visitors to explore its natural and historic landmarks through visitor information, maps, brochures, and ticket sales.

Visitors can choose from 14 marked hiking routes and discover educational trails and historic roads. Activities include hiking, climbing and mountaineering, rafting and kayaking on the Zrmanja River, and a caving experience at Modrič Cave near Rovanjska. The park also shares information about accommodation and visitor rules, while supporting research, conservation, and sustainable tourism projects. Nature, adventure, and cultural history come together across this distinctive protected landscape.
