Rožanski kukovi, Mountain summit in Lika-Senj County, Croatia.
Rožanski kukovi is a limestone summit reaching 1,676 meters and shaped by karst processes that created its distinctive terrain. The mountain's surface is marked by numerous caves, sinkholes, and narrow fissures formed over thousands of years by water and rock interactions.
The summit's limestone originates from ancient marine deposits that were later uplifted by tectonic forces. Over millions of years, water percolated through the rock and created the karst landscape visible today.
The mountain attracts visitors and locals who want to experience the raw alpine landscape and test themselves against its terrain. People use the trails as a way to connect with the rugged character of the region.
Sturdy footwear is essential due to the uneven and rocky terrain that characterizes the entire hike. The Zavižan area nearby offers a practical starting point and lodging options for those planning to explore the mountain.
On clear days, visitors can see both the Adriatic Sea and the inland mountain ranges from the summit. This dual view is uncommon and reveals how the mountain bridges two very different landscapes of the region.
