Located
just a few kilometres from the Adriatic Sea, in the north-west of Croatia, the Northern
Velebit National Park unites the coastal region and the mountainous zone. The park is an explorer's paradise. Over 150 caves and other forms of depressions give the park an
unparalleled sense of multiplicity. It offers a great number of hiking, cycling and cross country skiing
trails that reveal some "eye-popping" panoramic
views. As the number of visitors each year rises, future plans are being discussed to keep the park as untainted as possible, and also to
enhance visitors' experiences within the park, especially when it comes
to wildlife and natural vegetation. Winner of the Award "Tourism and protected areas 2009" (project European Destinations of Excellence EDEN).
