Peaks and Mountain Huts

Paklenica National Park encompasses the most rugged sections of the Velebit mountain range. This selection features the massif's highest point, Vaganski Vrh (1,757m), and the prominent Sveto Brdo, known for its unobstructed views of the Adriatic and Lika regions. The list includes essential high-altitude shelters like Struge and Ivine Vodice, alongside the iconic Anića Kuk, a 712-meter limestone monolith. These locations serve as the primary network for multi-day traverses through the park's karst landscape.
