Paklenica National Park is the most visited Croatian climbing center, well known throughout the country as well as outside its borders, and both in terms of organization and quality, and is included among the top European climbing areas. This climbing center is particularly charming due to its proximity to the seacoast, and as such, the Paklenica Riviera is an ideal place to combine climbing and water sports.

General description:
With its surface area of 96 km2, from the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea to the highest peaks of the Velebit Mountains, Vaganski Vrh (1757 m) and Sveto Brdo (1753 m), Paklenica abounds with numerous natural wonders and phenomena, which is why the entire area was proclaimed a national park in 1949. And rightfully so, as this region is simple and unusual in its connection between the sea and the mountains, rich in beech and black pine forests, its deep canyons cut vertically into the Velebit ridge, its karst formations and numerous caves and pits.
