Alpinism and Free Climbing – Paklenica National Park (UNESCO, 1978)
The region of National Park Paklenica represents one of the most attractive natural-science and tourist resorts in northeast Mediterranean. The grandiose gorge surrounded by harsh mountain cliffs, distant peaks of Velebit and old pine and beech forests is a chalenge for each and every nature lover, schientist and climber. This is the place where we can find a wide variety of flora and fauna some of which are very rare and endemic. This area is especially characterised by its variety of karstic formations. The nearby seaside and coastal atmosphere only add up to the beauty of this park.
VThe very entrance to the park where harsh mountain clifts almost menacingly overarch a visitor, makes it clear why the biggest, the most famous, and the most beautiful Croatian climbing site is located right at this spot. This is the place where anyone can find something for himself. We can climb sports, short routes, but we can also climb those that are far longer. This is the place that can satisfy even the adventure routes lovers. Range of difficulty levels is such that absolute beginners, as well as the experienced climbers can enjoy this place. All that characterizes Paklenica as a climbing site, that was pointed out in the text above is proved by an increase in number of climbers fromm all over the Europe...

Krka National Park
River Krka’s seven cascading waterfalls (Krčić, Bilušić, Brljan, Manojlovac, Rošnjak, Miljacka, Roški slap and Skradinski buk) are the park’s main phenomenon, and served as grounds for declaring the area a national park in 1985.
Plitvička jezera National Park

Numerous little rivers and streams supply them with water, while sparkling cascades and roaring downpours connect them into a whole.

Kornati National Park
Kornati islands are the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean. A group of 89 exquisitely beautiful, well-indented islands with interesting geomorphology and extremely abundant marine ecosystem habitats was declared a national park in 1980. Kornati islands are a paradise for boaters, divers and others who know how to enjoy the isolated, intact, magnificent archipelago’s nature.
Sjeverni Velebit National Park
Extraordinary Karst forms, life forms and landscape diversity in a relatively small space were the main reason why this area was declared a national park. Just like Paklenica, this region is the right place for those who enjoy wild nature.
Risnjak National Park
The park is situated in Gorski Kotar region, the most forested area in western Croatia. It is in close proximity of the Adriatic Sea, only 15 km northeast of Rijeka and Kvarner Bay. It takes about an hour and a half to walk around Leska, a 3.8 kilometres long educational pathway built 690 meters above sea-level, and visit 12 marked natural and social phenomena: a forest, a Karst feature called sink-hole, a mountain meadow, beech and fir-tree forest, a feeding place for wild animals, an underground stream hole, an observation post, a live tree-stump, a deer fern and fir forest, a traditional homestead and a spring.
Velebit Nature Park
Velebit – 'The Grand Mountain' – surely deserves the name it was given. It is the largest mountain in the country and, since it was declared a nature park in 1981, the largest protected natural area in Croatia. In 1978.UNESCO declared Velebit a world’s biosphere reserve. Two national parks (Paklenica and Sjeverni Velebit), flora and fauna diversity, and a significant number of endemic species are a proof of its unique value.
Telašćica Nature Park
Telašćica Cove is situated in the central part the eastern Adriatic coast, in the south-eastern part of the Dugi Otok Island. Thanks to its exquisite beauty, natural abundance and richness, this cove, surrounded by 13 isles and having 6 isles within it, was declared a nature park in 1988. On account of its extraordinary flora and fauna, geological and geomorphologic features, valuable marine species habitats, and interesting archaeological findings, in 1980 Telašćica was awarded a protected nature area status.
Vransko Jezero Nature Park
Vransko Jezero Lake is an unusual compromise between land and water, providing shelter for various plant and animal species and offering them all life necessities. Overgrown in grass, sedge, bull-rush and cane, the lake resembles a meadow criss-crossed by shallow ponds and covered with colourful flowers. Multitude of butterflies, dragon-flies and other insects is favourable for birds that dwell on the lake and in the park area throughout all year. Hidden in the thick cane birdwatchers can have an unforgettable experience of watching birds live, nest and take care of their offspring. The park is inhabited by 241 bird species, of which 102 species nest within the park’s limits.
