Excursions from Starigrad Paklenica: TOP 8 recommendations
Paklenica national park
A real jewel for lovers of nature, hiking and climbing. The massive cliffs of the Velebit mountains rise above you from the very entrance to the canyon of Velika Paklenica, from where hiking trails go through this natural phenomenon. One of them leads to the fascinating Manita peć cave.
Otherwise, the entrance of one of eight Croatian national parks can be found a mere two kilometres from Camping Paklenica, and the turn towards the park is just one hundred or so metres from the entrance to the Camp.
Zadar - where the sea plays an organ
The largest city in northern Dalmatia is about a fifty kilometre drive from Starigrad Paklenica. Every tourist who comes to Zadar absolutely must see two unique sights - the Greeting to the Sun and the Sea Organ.
Zadar is known as a historical city where monumental churches stand out in particular - the Middle Age Cathedral of St. Anastasia and the Church of St. Donat, recognisable by its interesting cylinder shape.
The best base for an excursion to Zadar is Camping Paklenica - stay in attractive little mobile houses just a couple of metres from the sea..
Photo safari on the Velebit mountain
There have been many legends about the largest Croatian mountain. This is a mountain that local people love and respect, it’s full of natural beauty and magical views. You can arrange a photo safari of Velebit at Camping Paklenica’s reception. Prepare the batteries for your cameras and phones, and begin your adventure.
The green Zrmanja river
The canyon of the Zrmanja river is certainly one of the most beautiful in this part of Europe. This green pearl of Dalmatia is rich with waterfalls, and a traveller can try out a more peaceful ride in a kayak or even adrenaline rafting, if there’s enough water. You can also swim in the Zrmanja river, and a jump from a waterfall is a special experience.
