Amazing view, great for one day trek. It is located in Starigrad, northern Dalmatia, at the southern slopes of Velebit mountain, not far from Zadar. It has two canyons: Mala (Small) and Velika (Big) P... more »

Ce parc est le paradis des alpinistes ! Si vous vous y rendez en été, partez tôt le matin car la chaleur peut vite être accablante. Afin de vous donner un ordre d'idée, nous avions bu 3 litres d'eau e... more »
This Park is a paradise for mountaineers! If you go in the summer, go early in the morning because heat can be overwhelming. In order to give you an idea, we had drunk 3 liters of water in two hours (two people). Put on a good pair of shoes, it will be more useful. There are different courses, take the most suitable to your physical condition. Feel free to inquire at the entrance! We, we had decided to follow the trail to one of the caves. It is a very physical course and who climbs a lot on the end brace yourself! The guides are very friendly! On the other hand, if you are not comfortable with English, forget the visit because the tower is small enough. In all cases, this park is worth a visit and is beautiful!View original

Amazing climbing and hiking place. Climbing in the canyon is absolutely recommended. It should be on every climbers to do list.

Beautiful park for hikers and rock climbers. We did the trail to the Paklenica house there and back in November. It took us about 5-6 house, and we took our time. It is easy to get there from Zadar, but in the off-season there is only one bus that leaves in the morning. This place would be perfect to start outdoor rock climbing as it has many entry level climbs.

Great place for rock climbing and hiking. Members of the Croatian and Slovenian mountaineering association get a 50% discount, along with students and kids. The rock is very good and routes and multi pitch routes are reasonably well protected. It can be crowded in spring and autumn during the holidays and weekends, so an early start is crucial.

we visited paklenica national park during easter vacation. only hiking, no climbing with 2 kids - 7 and 9 yrs old. in march caves and rastaurand closed. there are 2 entrances where you pay, velka paklenica starigrad and mala paklenica seline. we did 6 hours hiking routes up to cca 800 m hills, kids were okay. if you hike in srping be prepared that you meet nobody in few hours :) i recommend to buy a map with distances and time termination. the maps on website and brochures are very simple.
