Description

Velebit mountain range, the most beautiful in Croatia, is the center piece of this tour, which offers fantastic scenery and views. In its entirety Velebit is a nature park, while inside the nature park there are two national parks. Value of Velebit was also recognized by UNESCO as it was included on its World Biosphere Reserve list and its immense forests are on the UNESCO's World Heritage list. This full day trip begins and ends in Zadar. It is done in the air conditioned vehicle. First we will visit 2 attractive viewpoints at Maslenica bridges and river Zrmanja canyon viewpoint where Indian village from famous German Winnetou movies stood. Then we will proceed to climb Velebit range via historic Master's Road and do a 2h relatively easy and scenic hike in the area of Tulove Grede, where you'll see numerous interesting rock formations and have great views. After the hiking part we will continue the drive across the Velebit range and descent down its heavily forested northern side to Lika region and proceed to visit Cerovačke Špilje (Cerovac Caves). Ticket price for one cave is 11€ and 15€ for both caves, while in July and August the price is 14€ and 18€ for one or both caves. After the cave visit we will cross Velebit again and descend to river Zrmanja for a refreshing swim in its crystal clear waters. River swim is done only during warm summer months, while during spring and autumn water is too cold.

Important Information

  • Swimwear and towel are not mandatory but bring them if you wish to swim in Zrmanja river. If you have them, bring swim shoes, but they are not necessary for the swim. Bring sun screen and hat/cap if you are sensitive to sun. Bring you own food and drinks, but we also stop at a bakery on the way out of Zadar, so you can also count to get your food there. Sandals are fine for easily accessible viewpoints, but have sport shoes (sneakers/trainers) for hiking and cave parts of the tour.
