Velebit Nature Park, Nature park in Lika-Senj, Zadar and Šibenik-Knin counties, Croatia

The Velebit Nature Park extends across the largest mountain range in Croatia, containing deep canyons, limestone cliffs, and diverse geological formations.

The Croatian government established Velebit Nature Park in 1981 to safeguard its ecosystems and protect endangered species native to the region.

Traditional stone structures known as mirila mark ancient burial sites throughout the park, reflecting local customs and historical memorial practices.

Four educational trails of varying difficulty levels guide visitors through the park, requiring sturdy hiking boots and sufficient water supplies.

The park houses the Velebit degenija plant, which grows exclusively within this mountain range and represents a crucial part of Croatian natural heritage.
