Risnjak National Park, National park in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.
The park encompasses 63.5 square kilometers of mountains and forests, reaching elevations from 220 to 1,528 meters above sea level.
The Budapest botanist Joseph Standler conducted the initial scientific examination of the region in 1825, followed by numerous botanical studies.
The name originates from the Croatian word 'ris' meaning lynx, reflecting the historical presence of these wild cats in the region.
