Nature park Učka, Nature park in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia
Nature Park Učka is a mountain area in Croatia where the landscape changes with altitude, from Mediterranean plants below to alpine species higher up. This range of habitats supports a wide variety of wildlife and vegetation within the park's boundaries.
The park was established in 1999 to protect ancient limestone formations that reveal millions of years of geological change in the region. These rock layers tell the story of how the landscape formed over deep time.
Traditional stone dry walls throughout the park show how local communities managed their land and marked territories over many generations.
The park has eight marked cycling routes and sixty-seven signposted walking paths suited to different skill levels. The Poklon Visitor Centre provides maps and information to help you plan your visit.
The park sits where continental and Mediterranean climate zones meet, allowing plants from both regions to grow side by side. This mix of different plant communities in one place makes the area botanically special.
