Dinara Nature Park

The park spans 63,052 hectares across a karst landscape with vertical cliffs, mountain pastures, and the Cetina River's upper course and springs.

The mountain received its name from the Illyrian tribe Dindari, who utilized these lands for livestock grazing before the establishment of the park in 2021.

The traditional seasonal livestock farming practice involves shepherds moving their cattle to higher mountain plateaus during summer until the first snowfall.

The territory contains eleven ecological network areas, with eighty-seven percent of the park incorporated into the Natura 2000 conservation network.

The park hosts over 1,000 plant species, representing one-fifth of Croatian flora, including seventy-five national endemic species and the Dinaric vole.
