  • Nature & Adventure
  • Most of the epithets used in portraying stunning natural environments usually do not do justice to the nature of the Zadar region and fail in describing it's true astonishing beauty!

    Whether we focus on imposing peaks of Velebit Mountain, scenic splendour of the Adriatic coastline or charming intimacy of the scattered island, we are frequently awe-struck and lost for words.

    Hike to the Holy Mountain (Sveto Brdo)

    The Quest for the Holy Mountain

    Sveto Brdo which translates to Holy Mountain probably got its name because people say “Oh, my God!“ so many times when they hike it. And even more when they get to the top.

    Don't forget to look before you leap!

    When we say that you’ll get a bird’s eye view of many famous landmarks, then we really mean it! 

    Tandem parachute jumps are an exciting opportunity to experience freefall, all while enjoying spectacular views of the Adriatic Sea, the island of Pag and Velebit mountain.

    In order to make the entire experience even more thrilling, you can land with a parachute on one of the beautiful beaches in the zone located between two magnificent national parks. The jumping point is reached after a spectacular twenty-minute panorama flight above the national parks of Kornati and Paklenica. Jumps are made from an altitude of 3500 above ground level, with a freefall of 200-220 km/h in 45 seconds. If you book your spot on time, you can make your jump at sunset, which is said to be the “crème de la crème" of all parachute jumps. Small wonder, as even Hitchcock himself once said that sunsets in Zadar were the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

    The Beauty and the Beast

    The Beauty and the Beast

    Discover why rafters gave the River Zrmanja this original nickname and decide for yourself if you prefer her beautiful or her beastly side!

    It's no wonder Zrmanja is called the Beauty – its biodiversity reserve, spring, tributaries, canyon, waterfalls, endless sources of drinking water and magnificent landscapes justify its nickname. Even though it may be a little difficult to find, it will definitely be worth it. You can choose between paddling, cycling and hiking, but if you want to see the canyon, you have to go on the adventure called kayaking or rafting. Zrmanja will show you its other face here as well – the Beast. If the water level is high, it will allow you to experience one of the most exciting tours in this part of Europe. Regardless of whether you prefer to enjoy nature in a relaxed or an adventurous manner – Zrmanja is sure to delight you.

    Hike to the Holy Mountain (Sveto Brdo)

    The Quest for the Holy Mountain

    Sveto Brdo which translates to Holy Mountain probably got its name because people say “Oh, my God!“ so many times when they hike it. And even more when they get to the top. 

    Although the real peak of Velebit is Vaganski vrh (1757m), Sveto Brdo, 6 m lower (1751m), is considered by many to be the “true peak“. It is said to be the most impressive among the series of peaks above the Paklenca National Park. Sveto Brdo is famous for its giant pyramid and a clear view of both sides of the mountain. You can either take a five-hour hike (if you take a car to the closest point) or take an eight-hour tour leading you through the fascinating landscape of the Paklenica National Park. Whether you are a morning or a night person – we've got you covered! If you are a night owl, you can choose a tour that starts after nightfall and enjoy the dawn like never before! And you will meet many other animals too, such as the Croatian mustang and wild horses. OMG, we know!
