Peaks and Viewpoints

The Velebit range, Croatia's largest mountain massif, serves as a dramatic limestone barrier between the Mediterranean coast and the Lika highlands. This selection includes the highest summits of the North, Middle, and South Velebit, such as Vaganski Vrh and Šatorina, alongside significant karst formations like the Dabarski Kukovi. These locations offer views of the Adriatic archipelago, the Zrmanja River canyon, and the unique travertine waterfalls of the Una and Korana rivers on the range's eastern edges.
