Writing a detailed guide for Northern Velebit National Park…

Croatia's youngest national park (1999) protects a stunning karst landscape where the Velebit massif drops dramatically toward the Adriatic. The Premužić Trail — 57 km of stone-built path engineered in the 1930s — runs the spine of the range with sea-and-island panoramas.

Fun facts

  • The Premužić Trail is 57 km long and was hand-built between 1930 and 1933.
  • Velebit is home to all three of Croatia's large carnivores: bear, wolf and lynx.
  • The Hajdučki kukovi look like a 'stone forest' carved by centuries of wind and rain.
