One of the biggest attractions is Premužić trail, a 50 km long trail that connects the northern and central Velebit, which offers attractive views of the sea, islands and, when skies are clear, even Italy. The specificity of Velebit is two completely different faces - mild, green and forested on the continental side and steep, rocky and bare on the sea side. The possibilities for activities on Velebit are diverse - from hiking, caving, walking, alpinism to cycling. The Adriatic sea and the attractive beaches of Velebit channel are also in the vicinity. You can visit Velebit from Starigrad Paklenica, Senj, Karlobag, Otočac, Gračac or Gospić.
