Hajdučki i Rožanski kukovi
Hajdučki i Rožanski kukovi, Nature reserve in Lika-Senj County, Croatia.
Description
Hajdučki and Rožanski kukovi is a nature reserve in Lika-Senj County featuring steep limestone peaks separated by deep crevasses and rocky formations. The jagged landscape creates a challenging terrain where hikers navigate across multiple paths and elevations.
History
The area became a protected nature reserve in 1969, establishing itself as one of only two such strictly protected sites in Croatia. This designation prevented industrial development and preserved the natural landscape.
Culture
The mountain has long drawn people from the region who used these traditional hiking routes across the peaks. The paths connecting different shelters show how visitors today continue to experience this mountain terrain.
Practical
The terrain is accessible to hikers of varying experience levels, with mountain shelters along the routes providing rest and overnight stays. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and carry supplies, as the rocky landscape demands careful footing.
