The Paklenica karst river canyon is one of the Croatian national parks.
Near the entrance into the Velika Paklenica there is an artificial basement/cave complex that had been built for Josip Broz Tito during the tension between Yugoslavia and the USSR in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Paklenica is also well known for the rock-climbing throughout the whole year.
Paklenica along with a number of other areas was designated a national park in 1928 but, unfortunately, on the basis of an inadequate law with only temporary validity.
Paklenica is only a small part of Croatia's most interesting mountain range of Velebit mountain, but it is one of the most distinctive and richest in natural beauty and interest.
Paklenicas rich flora and fauna (with many endemic species, such as griffon vulture), its karstic relief (with the so-called Manita Pec) and numerous sports activities (such as mountain climbing, free-climbing, hiking, trekking, horseback riding and bird watching) are attracting an increasing number of tourists.
