Tomići: Paklenica National Park
Formed around the deep gorges cut by the Velika and Mala Paklenica streams, Paklenica National Park developed into a protected karst landscape on the southern slopes of the Velebit mountain range. Established in 1949, the park combines pale limestone walls with pine and beech woodland. Velika Paklenica is the larger and more visited of the two canyons, and its steep rock faces have made the area an important Croatian climbing destination. Trails rise from the Adriatic-side foothills into higher Velebit terrain, tracing the abrupt transition between the coast and the mountains.

Tomici combines the quiet scale of a small settlement with the rugged presence of Velebit in a way that reflects its position on Croatia’s Adriatic side. It lies near Starigrad, where the Velebit mountain range drops towards the Adriatic Sea and the Velebit Channel. This part of northern Dalmatia is closely associated with Paklenica National Park, founded in 1949 to protect the Velika and Mala Paklenica canyons and their forests. Coastal hamlets, karst slopes and mountain routes meet within a compact area, underlining the abrupt transition from sea level to Velebit’s interior.

Zadar County extends from the slopes of the Velebit range to the islands of the Zadar archipelago, encompassing a karst hinterland, a long Adriatic shore and scattered islands. Its county seat, Zadar, preserves a Roman Forum beside the early-medieval Church of St Donatus, one of the city’s defining monuments. Beyond the city, Paklenica National Park protects dramatic canyons on Velebit, while the Zrmanja River cuts through inland karst before reaching the sea. Ferries bind the coast to islands including Dugi Otok, Ugljan and Pašman, where olive growing, fishing and stone-built settlements remain part of local life.

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.
