Experiences and Activities near us
Climbing
In
Paklenica there is something for every climber – be it sport climbs
in any grade or multipitches of the verticals of Anića Kuk. The
approach to sport climbing crags is straightforward (right beside the
hiking trail) and is therefore available to anyone, kids and seniors
alike.
Paklenica
offers exquisite climbing possibilities throughout the year – the
dry winter of Paklenica has attracted climbers from around the globe
for many years and is an excellent alternative to the established
winter destinations like Spain or France.
Rafting
Rafting
and kayaking on the Zrmanja river (~ 40km from the city of
Starigrad-Paklenica) are the favourite activities of water sports
lovers. Crystal clear waters of Zrmanja swell in autumn and spring
offering ideal conditions for rafting. In the summer months, kayaking
(a particular favourite with kids) is recommended due to the lower
water levels.
Trekking
Mountaineering through the
Velebit, in particular the Paklenica, is the only way to truly
appreciate Paklenica. National park “Paklenica“ contains
approximately 150-200 km of mountain trails of various difficulty and
length. From the Great Paklenica gorge to the Manita peć cave, over
the highest peak of the Velebit – the choices and possibilities are
endless. All trails are appropriately marked.
Winnetou
During
the 60s of the last century (1963 - 1968) movies featuring the
character Winnetou adapted from the novels by the famous German
writer – Karl May, were being recorded in the proximity of
Starigrad-Paklenica. In 2009 the first Winnetou museum was opened.
The organized Winnetou tours will take you for a nostalgic adventure
with unforgettable moments.
Adrian Sea
In
the breaks from climbing, mountaineering and rafting, take a chance
to rest on the fascinating beaches of the Paklenica coastline.
Indulge in the fairytale shores with the most exquisite and romantic
sunsets. Treat yourself to the delicious Mediterranean food in one of
the numerous restaurants. Sample the local wine along with the
amazing seafood such as the fresh mussels and truly enjoy in every
moment spent with us.
Croatian national parks
There
are eight national parks in Croatia. Five of these jewels of nature
are located in or in the immediate vicinity of Starigrad-Paklenica
(Paklenica, North Velebit, Kornati, Plitvice lakes, Krka). When God
created the Earth, he spared no expense in these lands. From the deep
canyons of Paklenica, over the emerald waters of Kornati to the
waterfalls of Krka – few destinations can brag with such diversity
and beauty.
