Velebit Mountains

South of Senj are the Velebit Mountains and National Park, reaching the rugged coastline. There are several walking trails through the region. I'm in Croatia to experience Croatia so that's the challenge for today.

What I wasn't told until we were well on our way was that this is European Brown Bear territory and perhaps also a few wild boars best avoided. Whilst we saw some fresh scratchings in the ground to let us know we were not alone, no animals were harmed in the making of this trip, i.e. if the bears saw us, they kindly let us pass in blissful ignorance.Weiterlesen
