北ヴェレビットの天然記念物・トップ13

It is incredible that in this type of terrain, no matter how enthusiastic and helpful all the locals were (this is even more incredible: kudos to the people there), someone broke through an impressive 57km long trail and in just, mind you: 3 years!!! From 1930 to 1933. It was built by Ante Premužić and created a masterpiece of architecture, protected as a cultural asset of national importance. If anyone is interested in the details about the trail (they are truly impressive): https://np-sjeverni-velebit.hr/www/hr/park/premuziceva-staza It is incredible that the view of Velebit from the sea does not offer even a hundredth part of that magnificent mountain. There are gentle, green pastures, forest-covered parts, vertical stone cliffs... Something for everyone. This trail has everything for everyone, and the most fascinating fact is that it is easy to overcome because it goes along the top part, especially in the direction from Zavižan. We left our car in Krasno in front of the Velebit House. Why did we stop at the Velebit House and not drive all the way to the parking lot below Zavižan? Namely, that section is too long for one day because we would have to cover 30km, which is really too much. That's where Mr. Dragec stepped in, who has been organizing rides for hikers for years who want to cross various sections of Velebit and want to go through and see as much as possible (like us) but don't want to sleep halfway but return the same day. Mr. Dragec picked us up at the Velebit House in Krasno and took us to the parking lot on Zavižan, from where we headed towards PD Alan where he was waiting for us and from PD Alan he took us to Krasno to the car. Elegant, comfortable and we also saw additional landscapes along the way. Dragec transport: https://www.dragec-prijevoz.hr/ and here: https://www.facebook.com/dragecccc

About 50 km beginner hike from P.D. He is addicted to Baška Oštarija. Max 12% incline. Great view.

It is better to hike anti-clockwise! There are some places where you have to climb. Good footwear and mountain experience are required.

The Premužić Trail is a hiking trail that passes through the peaks of the northern and middle Velebit. The trail is 57 km long, and the first 16 km (8-9 hours of walking) pass through the Northern Velebit National Park. The usual direction of movement is from the north, from the Zavižan mountain hut (1594 m), over the Veliki Alan pass (1412 m) to Oštarijski vrata (927 m). In Željko Poljak's book "50 most beautiful hiking trips in Croatia", only the Premužić trail received the highest rating.

View from the mountain top. You might not be allowed to ride or push the bike there, but the view is still worth at least walking there.

Velika kosa, at 5,314 feet (1,620 m), is a peak in the Northern Velebit, just to the north of the Velebit Botanical Garden. It's a short ascent from the Zavižan mountain hut to reach the summit. Your reward is magnificent views across the Velebit massif and out to the islands of the Adriatic Sea.

Home to over 300 plant species, this reserve covers 168 acres (68 ha) of the Northern Velebit. It's just a short walk from the Zavižan mountain hut and the nearby parking to reach this immensely colourful spot. A visit here can be combined with hikes to the peaks of Veliki Zavižan, the challenging Balinovac and Velika kosa.

Easy hike via Velika Kosa. A bit of climbing over large rocks towards the peak, but no big deal. It is marked in Cro Mountain rescue service map as dangerous, but in my opinion the danger is very low. If you are VERY short, this route might be a bit difficult. Descent over loose gravel is easy. I wouldn't climb in the opposite direction.
