WHERE WOULD I TAKE YOU? “I would take you to Paklenica National Park”
The history of rock climbing in Paklenica began at 1938, when Dragutin Brahm -Raca, attempted to make the first ascent of the Anića Kuk wall, which unfortunately ended tragically.
Today Paklenica National Park is the most visited climbing center in Croatia, also popular outside Croatia. The close proximity of seawater gives this climbing site a special charm, making Paklenica Riviera an ideal place to combine climbing and water sports.
At Paklenica climbing site, which is mostly composed of limestone, there are about 400 well-equipped marked routes of different difficulty grade and length (from grade 3 to 8b+), so each climber can find something to his or her liking.
You don’t have to be a mountain climber to visit Paklenica. Rich with natural and cultural heritage, Paklenica is an ideal place for summer vacation, family excursion or sightseeing site.
