GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION STATE AUTHORITY ECONOMY CULTURE SPORTS ADDRESSES CROATIAN SPECIALTIES Paklenica National Park In 1978, Mount Velebit received international recognition when it was included in the UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere network. The national park is located on the south side of Mount Velebit, under its highest peak, Vaganski Peak (1758 m). It is located in the Zadar district and its administrative seat is Starigrad Paklenica. Due to its natural beauty, karst phenomena and animal and plant life, Paklenica was declared a national park (covering 3617 ha), which includes the courses of the Velika Paklenica and Mala Paklenica rivers, surrounded by the highest peaks of the southern side of Velebit and their ravines descending to the sea in the area of Starigrad and Selina. The geomorphological region consists of a long valley (8.5 km.) which follows the main crag of Mount Velebit, and two shorter canyons (4 to 5 km) of the Velika Paklenica and Mala Paklenica, which carve through the mountain. Tectonic shifts and the erosive effects of torrents have formed magnificent ravines with steep cliffs up to 400 meters high. The most impressive cliff, AniÊa kuk, is a haven for mountaineering. The greatest treasure of the Paklenica karst is the natural beauty of the many caves and caverns (Manita peÊ, Jama vodarica, etc.). The fauna of Paklenica National Park is very diverse: brown bears, wolves, martens, wildcats, golden eagles, griffin vulture, owls, falcons and ravens. The Adriatic side of Paklenica is marked by a cool, Mediterranean climate, while the interior is more continental, with alpine climes at higher elevations. Plitvice Lakes National Park On the eastern edge of Lika, where Mala Kapela and LiËka Pljeπivica meet, stretch the Plitvice Lakes, between the Slunj, OtoËac, Ogulin and Korenica districts. The lakes were declared a national park in 1949. A sequence of 16 lakes spreads across 19,479 ha, of which 14,000 ha are heavily forested. The lakes are fed by the Black and White rivers and the Ljeskovac Creek. The latter drains into ProπÊansko Lake (636 m above sea level), which in turn feeds other lakes, sending water cascading through limestones crags, forming waterfalls and magnificent rapids on its journey to the Korana River. In 1979, the Plitvice National Park were included in UNESCO’s list of the World Natural Heritage. The Plitvice Lakes perfectly combine the development of tourism with ecological conservation. Hotels, motels and campgrounds, open year round, blend in fully with the environment and play host to picnickers, extended stays and business guests. 13
THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA • 2003 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION Risnjak National Park Risnjak National Park is located in Gorski Kotar, 15 km. from Delnice, on the farthest western edge of the Dinaric Alps. It shares Delnice, »abar and Rijeka districts, with its administrative seat in Crni Lug. The park spreads across 3014 ha at altitudes from 680 to 1528 meters. The higher elevations of Risnjak, mainly limestone and dolomite, form a barrier between the drastically different coastal and continental climates. Dense forests of beech, fir and spruce flourish on either side. Mainly of scientific importance, Risnjak is also significant to Croatian tourism. Located only 15 km from the main road, connecting Zagreb and Rijeka, Risnjak National Park is easily accessible and offers a view of Kvarner Bay. Velebit National Park The northern area of Velebit is, from the point of view of nature, the most valuable and attractive part of the Velebit mountain zone. It comprises strict nature reserves - Roæanski Kukovi and HajduËki Kukovi - with interesting Karst forms and the Lukina Jama (Luka’s Pit), one of the deepest pits in the world, as well as the renowned Velebit botanical gardens. This is also our youngest national park. In May 1999, the House of Representatives of the Croatian Parliament passed a law to declare Northern Velebit a National Park. Thus, an area within the Velebit Nature Park covering 109 km2 in total was proclaimed the Northern Velebit National Park. The Velebit Nature Park can be divided into three parts: northern, central and southern. Northern Velebit begins above Senj, at Vratnik Saddle (698 m in height), and ends at Veliki Alan Saddle (1412 m). Vratnik Saddle separates Velebit from Velika Kapela. The main feature of this part of Velebit is its almost triangular shape. The width is almost equal to its length. It has several depressions (called dulibe by the Velebit locals), of which Lomska Duliba and Krasanska Duliba have the particular importance that they were the sites of larger settlements which remain inhabited even today, unlike many other settlements on Velebit which have been depopulated. The highest peak of this part of Velebit is Mali Rajinac (1699 m). On the second highest peak, Zaviæan, a weather station and mountaineer lodge are located.
