Paklenica National Park — Gorges and Waterfalls

Highlight • Gorge

Super National Park.
We were there in April and it was nice and empty.
I can only recommend the low season for traveling and hiking. There are some places on the main path to fill the bottles with fresh spring water!

Natural pool

Highlight • Waterfall

A gorgeous natural pool that makes for a superb wild swim and the ideal way to cool down on a hike up Valeki Paklenica. With its little cascade and views of the mighty karst architecture of the gorge, it's a wonderful spot.

View of the Velika Paklenica Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are many wonderful vantage points to discover when hiking up or down Velika Paklenica. This huge karst gorge is as dramatic as it is beautiful. Stay alert for sightings of the resident wildlife, which includes apex predators like eagles, bears and lynx.
