Paklenica National Park

This NP exceeded my expectations. Was a really lovely walk up to the cave and we had a great tour of the cave too. Toilets were clean and stocked. Great day out.

If you're going to go up the mountain, take sturdy shoes. We went up Vidakov Kuk. 745m high. About 6.4km to get there. The trail is fine up to the point of the Manitec cave. After that, you follow the red and white circles and lines to the top. It's not easy, there are no safety barriers, and sometimes it's pretty much straight up, holding onto rocks, steel wire and trees. Take your time and look for the next red and marker to set your course. When you get to the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent view. To get down there are 2 ways, back the way you came, or keep going, following the red and white markers. I would recommend going back the way you came. Even though the first part of that will be difficult, one you hit the trail it's easy sailing. Continuing on is a task and a half. The trail is VERY difficult. Steep slopes, on rocks most of the way, and you only have the markers as a guide as there is no real trail marked. It's tough on knees and ankles. Sometimes it feels like it will never end, you double back on yourself and feel lost. Plus it takes a lot longer this way. And when you get to the end, you will probably question your intelligence as why you did it 😄. But, if adventure is what you are wanting, do it.

Beautiful park for everyone. Easy parking and very helpful staff

Amazing views..lovely hike to the top. Doesn't take long. About 5,000 steps up

Where the mountain meets the sea. Beautiful place, nice trails, awesome views.

Paklenica National Park is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. Dramatic canyons, rugged cliffs, and dense forests make every trail breathtaking. Key points: well-marked hiking paths, opportunities for rock climbing, scenic waterfalls, and abundant wildlife.

One of these places where you don't need to walk much to see something amazing;) Just outside the parking lot, you can observe climbers or simply rest in the shade of the mountains and trees. Definitely go on a trek too or take a climbing lesson with a local guide!

Very nice hiking 🥾. I recommend to have a good shoes and a lot of water. We went to Manita (Mad) cave and were quite happy. Going up to the cave is not easy but doable. Cave works from 10 to 13 and entrance cost 5$ (only cash). There is no guided tour in it, so just come in a good time. Toilet is only near the entrance to the park. In park you can find some drink water refill.
