From the valley floor of the Velika Paklenica, the karst gorge appears almost unrealistically mighty. On both sides, limestone walls rise almost vertically into the sky for several hundred meters, …

At the entrance to the gorge you can see climbers on the rocks. Then there is a relatively steep climb along a well-developed but rocky hiking trail.

Instead of a lap, we walked to the refuge and back. A gradient of up to 45 degrees was too steep for us on wet paths. Very beautiful gorge with many waterfalls.

A national park worth seeing with many highlights.
The cave is an absolute dream. Unfortunately we were unlucky because the cave was closed. Monday, Wednesday and Saturday is open.
For this reason we walked further into the national park this time.
2economies are on the way. There you can get small snacks and drinks.
Many small waterfalls can be seen …

We started at entrance 1, the goal was actually the cave "Manita pec", which is only open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays in the autumn (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.) What a pity! We then walked the main path (not demanding!) to the village of Parici. Be sure to try the bean soup: delicious! And the house schnapps: supposed to …

Great tour, although the direct route was enough for us. In the beginning it is quite slippery, after that it becomes comfortable and easier. Easy to do even with normal shoes and at noon in summer.

At the top, we recommend skipping the first hut (which is probably good too) and going on to the upper hut, Ramica Dvori, since …

Great tour in Paklenica National Park. The heat does give you a little trouble, but once you get to the Ramica Dvori, you can get cool drinks and delicious food.

Last day of hiking 🤷‍♂️-let's go to the big Paklenica Gorge. The weather was ideal for hiking and so we went to the cathedral 👍😀👏
