Volarice: Hrvatski planinarski savez - Planinarski dom Zavižan - Vrh - Velika kosa
The landscape around Zavižan is a high, open karst ridge of grassland and beech-fir forest in the Northern Velebit range, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Planinarski dom Zavižan is a mountain refuge associated with Hrvatski planinarski savez, Croatia’s national mountaineering association, within Northern Velebit National Park. The nearby crest of Velika Kosa belongs to the long limestone Velebit chain, which runs parallel to the Adriatic coast. Zavižan is also known for the Zavižan Botanical Garden, established in 1967 to present Velebit plant life. The ridge forms a marked geographical divide between inland Lika and the Adriatic.

This is a rugged karst region, where limestone terrain, woodland and sparsely settled slopes shape everyday life beyond Croatia’s busier coastal resorts. Velebit is recognised as a UNESCO biosphere reserve and has long been associated with mountain pasture traditions.

Lika-Senj County extends from the Adriatic coast beneath the Velebit range to the limestone plateaus of Lika, encompassing a marked contrast between island-dotted seascapes, mountains and inland karst. In the county’s northeast, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for its chain of lakes and travertine barriers; it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The Gacka River, noted for its clear springs, runs through a gentler valley near Otočac. On the coast, the old town of Senj is crowned by Nehaj Fortress, built in the 16th century as a defensive stronghold.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
