    Hiking

    Paklenica National Park is a national park located in the Velebit mountain range, 30 km northeast of the city of Zadar on the Croatian Adriatic Sea and approximately one kilometer from Starigrad-Paklenica. It encompasses Mediterranean, continental, and alpine climate zones and was declared a national park in 1949.
    The highest peaks are Vaganski Vrh at 1,757 m above sea level and Sveto Brdo (1,750 m above sea level).

    Rock climbing

    The national park is subject to a fee. A five-day ticket for climbers currently costs €24. Those who want to climb to the last parking lot pay an additional €5 per day.

    In return, there are approximately 500 climbing routes of all lengths and difficulty levels. Many easy, long, gradual climbs stand out.

    Hiking

    The hike was beautiful but difficult. For families who simply want to go on a short hike in nature, the entrance fee (€10/adult) is quite public. Climbers and via ferratas will certainly get their money's worth.
