Velebit Essentials

This collection spans the Velebit mountain range and surrounding Lika region, highlighting the UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park with its interconnected karst lakes and the 78-meter Great Waterfall. It features the birthplace of Nikola Tesla in Smiljan, the massive underground complex of the Željava Air Base, and the Cerovačke Caves’ archaeological findings. From the dramatic Zrmanja River canyon views to the Pre-Romanesque architecture of the Church of St. Nicholas, these sites represent the area’s geological diversity and cultural history.
