Nature & outdoors

Let the landscape lead.

Vela draga, the slopes of Učka and a slower way to spend the day outdoors.

Choose the walk that fits your day, your experience and the conditions. A viewpoint visit is not the same as a canyon descent, and a scenic photograph is not a route description.

Vela draga

A landscape shaped in limestone.

The geological educational trail introduces the canyon and its limestone towers. The park describes a 2 km visit of around 1–1½ hours. The viewpoint is followed by a more demanding section towards the canyon floor; do not assume the entire route is an easy stroll.

Učka & Ćićarija

Give the mountains their own day.

Look beyond a quick stop. Select a marked route from the park’s visitor information, check the forecast and allow for the return journey. Climbing is a separate technical activity: use appropriate equipment, expertise and current park guidance.
