About excursion

Today we take our bikes and explore the Paklenica Riviera. We start from hotel Vicko and bike through small villages under the mountain. The road will take us to the entrance of the NP from where we will take a walk to an archeological exploration of Paklarić fort where the prehistoric and medieval ceramics were discovered. It is believed that the fort was built in the late Middle Age, supervising the important communication from the sea through Paklenica to Lika and back. Standing on the fort we will enjoy a magnificent view of the Paklenica Riviera.

From there we will follow an educational track following the boarder of the NP and leading us through old villages all the way to Reljan village. The educational track “A Short Journey through History” is part of pedestrian and bike track. It is equipped with five boards presenting the history of the area from prehistoric times to date. Going back to Starigrad we will use small roads enjoying the view. There also might be time for swimming and relaxing on one of the beaches.
