A settlement since Roman times, the town’s main claim to fame today is as a base for exploring the spectacular gorges of the National Park just behind the town and for long-distance trekking into the Velebit mountain range to the NE.

|
The small harbour of Starigrad-Paklenica lies on the mainland coast of Croatia at the SE end of the Velebitski channel, near the entrance to the Paklenica National Park at the foot of the Velebit mountain range. A settlement since Roman times, the town’s main claim to fame today is as a base for exploring the spectacular gorges of the National Park just behind the town and for long-distance trekking into the Velebit mountain range to the NE. However, the harbour, like many along this coast, is quite open and does not offer good shelter. It is not a place to be in if there is any risk of a bora or, indeed, any fresh to strong winds from NW round to SW. In settled weather, however, it is a useful place to stop for a visit to the National Park.
