Discover the wild beauty of the Velebit mountains on a two-day multipitch climbing trip in Paklenica National Park, one of the top climbing destinations in Southeast Europe. With its dramatic limestone walls rising straight from the karst valley, Paklenica offers a perfect blend of accessible approaches, solid rock, and routes full of character.
This sample itinerary gives you a full taste of what Paklenica has to offer. Day one features the classic warm-up route Nosorog, perfect for getting used to the style and rock. After climbing, we’ll wind down with fresh fish and local wine at Konoba Dinko, a climber’s favorite. Day two brings a bigger challenge—Mosoraški, a true Paklenica classic that winds its way up the proud face of Anića Kuk.
Whether you’re a climber looking to improve your multipitch skills or simply want to enjoy some of the best rock in the Adriatic region, this trip delivers.
