Nature park Učka

The mountain ranges within Nature Park Učka contain diverse ecosystems spanning from Mediterranean vegetation at lower altitudes to alpine plants near the peaks.

Established in 1999, the park preserves ancient limestone formations and geological structures that reveal millions of years of tectonic activity in the region.

Traditional stone dry walls throughout the park demonstrate historical agricultural practices and territorial boundaries used by local communities across generations.

Visitors can access eight marked cycling routes and sixty-seven climbing paths, with the Poklon Visitor Centre providing detailed maps and educational materials.

The park's position between continental and Mediterranean climate zones creates specific conditions where plant species from both regions grow together naturally.
