Risnjak, Mountain summit in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.

The Risnjak peak reaches an elevation of 1528 meters and stands as the highest point within the Risnjak National Park mountain range.

Professor Ivo Horvat initiated the protection of Risnjak in 1949, leading to its designation as a national park covering 63.5 square kilometers.

The mountain serves as a natural boundary between Mediterranean and continental climate zones, influencing local traditions and ways of life.

Visitors can reach the summit through marked hiking trails starting from Crni Lug village, with the ascent taking approximately three hours.

The mountain houses over 4,000 plant species and provides a habitat for bears, wolves, lynx, and 500 butterfly varieties within its compact territory.
