Description

Calling all hikers to the Paklenica National Park! Over the course of 2+ days, you will be able to explore the mountainous beauty of Croatia.

The Paklenica National Park is located in and around the slopes of the Velebit Mountain Range, in southwest Croatia. The park is home to many canyons, 400-meter-high mountains and over 1000 different types of animal and plant species, which is why it is one of the most famous hiking destinations in Europe.

On this 2-4 day trip, you will have a lot of flexibility with your schedule, as you will be able to do different activities based on how much time you allot to this trip. However, no matter what duration you choose, you will definitely get to delight in the 700 meter high mountain walls surrounding us, against the backdrop of plains and dense forest, peppered with unique rare grass. You will also have the opportunity to climb up to the highest peak in the park: Velebit. And it is also possible to climb to the second-highest peak in the entire country, Vaganski Vrh, which is located at 1,757 meters.

This trip is leisurely, and possible with 4-7 people at a time. This trip also varies in price given your desired trip duration. I offer this trip for anywhere between 2-4 days, and the rates listed below are for 2 days.

Request to book this trip if you have always wanted to hike through the beautiful Paklenica National Park! And if you are interested in other hikes in Croatia, feel free to check out my 3 day trek on the KRK island.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
