Day 1st-Hiking
After leaving Zagreb with a short stop,we arrive to Tulove grede. A mountain formation consisting of towers and cracks that, according to many, form one of the most beautiful and fascinating rocks on Velebit. Followed by fifty minutes of hiking to the top (1120 m above sea level) from where there is a beautiful view of the Zrmanja canyon, the islands of the central Adriatic and the slopes of northern and central Velebit.
IMPORTANT: Climbing to the top of Tulove grede requires some experience. There are several pegs and cables on the marked trail to help with the climb. For people with a lack of experience, without suitable footwear and those who are afraid of heights - it is not recommended to climb to the very top. The trail to the foot of Tulove grede is not technically demanding, so you can admire the beauty of the landscape from that location.
The evening is reserved for one of the most beautiful views in Dalmatia, more precisely the Kamenjak lookout point, from where there is a panoramic view that leaves you breathless. From a full day in nature, we arrive at our accommodation in Mićanove dvore, where an autochthonous Dalmatian dinner awaits us.

After rafting, we go to a well-deserved lunch in Mićanov dvori.

Accompanied by experienced speleo guides equipped with helmets and headlamps, we discover the underground world of natural creations.
In the afternoon we go on a hiking trip through the canyon of the Paklenica National Park. All the beauties can be experienced only by walking, which is why we will take an easy walk about hour and a half to climb the largest rock of Velebit, Anića kuk, from where there is a unique view of the canyon of Velika Paklenica.
