The majestic Velebit is the largest and, for natural phenomena, the richest Croatian mountain. Protected as nature park and extending to 2000 km2 in are, it is by far the largest protected area in Croatia, largest than all the other put together.
Within the nature park it is a whole range of smaller protected areas, including two national parks Northern Velebit and Paklenica.
