On the rough massif of Velebit, Paklenica National Park offers numerous outdoor opportunities for hiking, climbing and other sports. A designated UNESCO biological reserve, the park was established to protect the diverse flora and fauna, as well as the mountains themselves. Significantly due to the exposed white rock on the otherwise barren mountains and the sharply contrasting green forests below, Mala Paklenica and Velika Paklenica celebrate through the mountain range, creating their own dramatic high walls. The park is home to numerous species of birds and colonies, making it a paradise for bird watchers, and occasionally wildlife such as bears and wolves are recorded. The Parks Office is located in Starigrad (StariGrad-Paklenica) and provides everything you need for a safe visit, including maps and other useful information, along with exhibits and toilets (the entrance is in Marasovići, a little further north).Hot Tip: Try to visit during the colder spring or fall months when the park is especially green and lush.

I visited the Paklenica National Park during the fall season and this place was stunning, the park is very green at this time of the year. We were provided with map and tour guide at the Parks Office in Starigrad who helped us in our tour. The park is a gorgeous place.

The different bird species in the park added a beautiful look to the park. I was delighted to have a sight of the bears and wolves in the park, although i was scared when taming one the animals were completely harmless and beautiful.

My friends and I engaged in various activities in this location. We started by hiking in the beautiful mountains. Secondly, we engaged in birdwatching and were awed by the beautiful and rare bird species in the location. We will visit again soon.

The park has very beautiful wild animals and wildlife, the savannah terrain is a really good landscape for the animals, we also toured the park in the rover and booked ourselves a villa just by the river so that we could see the animals relaxing and hydrate
