View of the Adriatic Sea from Velebit Nature Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

We did this as part of a loop through the national park. It's a lovely section of gravel riding, and there's plenty more to explore in this area.

Paklenica National Park is a national park located in the Velebit mountain range, 30 km northeast of the city of Zadar on the Croatian Adriatic Sea and approximately one kilometer from Starigrad-Paklenica. It encompasses Mediterranean, continental, and alpine climate zones and was declared a national park in 1949.
The highest peaks are Vaganski Vrh at 1,757 m above sea level and Sveto Brdo (1,750 m above sea level).

Adriatic Swimming Spot

Highlight • Beach

This long section of road along the Adriatic Sea offers many opportunities for swimming. Public pontoons are available. You just have to stop and dive into the translucent water. A treat especially when it's hot. This place is one among many.
