Paklenica National Park

Paklenica National Park is located slightly inland from the coast of North Dalmatia, situated about 47km north (northeast) from Zadar. The nearest coastal town to the park is Starigrad Paklenica.

The Park is south of the Velebit range of mountains (the largest in Croatia) and covers an area of just under 100 square km. It had a mixture of high peaks with stunning views, deep gorges and beech and pine forests.

The Park is an ideal place to visit for the adventurous – there are several challenging hiking trails, and climbing is also popular here. We walked the 6Km to the hut and had Beans and Sausage.

We stopped on a campsite on the coast in Starigrad next to the Alana Hotel.
