View of the Adriatic Sea from Paklenica National Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

The ascent to the higher regions requires good footwear and a safe kick. The paths are partially covered with loose rock, on which one can easily slip away.

At the entrance to the gorge you can see climbers on the rocks. Then there is a relatively steep climb along a well-developed but rocky hiking trail.

Overall nice trail but after turning back in the furthest point in the trail, a lot of walking in the forest without any views.
Perhaps there are better alternatives!

A national park worth seeing with many highlights.
The cave is an absolute dream. Unfortunately we were unlucky because the cave was closed. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday is open.
For this reason we walked further into the national park this time.
2economies are on the way. There you can get small snacks and drinks.
Many small waterfalls can be seen …

Today we went for a walk in the Winnetou Gorge. Paklenica National Park - entrance fee 6€ on 13.10.24 without a car - climbing paradise in the Karst Mountains. I recommend sturdy shoes, but they are not a must. 2 places to stop for refreshments and 100 different hiking and climbing routes await you.
