Croatia's premier karst canyon and climbing destination on the slopes of Velebit

Paklenica National Park

Paklenica National Park is a rugged protected area in northern Dalmatia, Croatia, encompassing dramatic karst canyons carved deep into the southern slopes of the Velebit mountain range. The park contains two principal canyons—Velika Paklenica (Big Paklenica) stretching 14 kilometers and Mala Paklenica (Small Paklenica) extending 12 kilometers—where vertical cliffs rise over 700 meters from the canyon floor, creating one of the most striking mountain landscapes in the Adriatic region. Established in 1949 and originally protected as early as 1929, Paklenica represents the second-oldest national park in Croatia and is recognized as the country's most important climbing destination, with over 360 equipped routes attracting climbers from across Europe. The park's karst terrain is perforated by 76 documented caves and pits, while its diverse forests—particularly the ancient beech forests recognized by UNESCO as part of a trans-European World Heritage site—harbor remarkable biodiversity including 79 endemic plant species, 230 bird species, and populations of brown bears, chamois, and golden eagles.
