| | NATURAL PARKSBIOKOVO- a mountain along the central part of the Dalmatian coast. Biokovo descends toward the sea in very steep and bare limestone rocks, under which is a narrow and green littoral belt KOPACKI RIT- a nature park not far from the confluence of the Drava and the Danube, situated at the very border, is one of the most important, largest and most attractive preserved intact wetlands in Europe. It comprises many backwaters and ponds along the Danube. LONJSKO POLJE- a part of the flood plain between the Sava river and Moslavacka Gora Mountain, partly along the Lonja river; a retention basin for the Sava waters. This flooded area, where high waters hold for up to six months, is one of the largest European hatching grounds of pike. It is famous for a variety of flora and fauna. MEDVEDNICA- (Zagrebacka Gora), a mountain in the immediate vicinity of the northern part of Zagreb; the highest peak Sljeme (1,032 m). Apart from walking through the forests, Medvednica attracts its visitors by several nice caves. The most interesting of them is Veternica, one of the largest caves in Croatia. There are also a number of attract-vie gorges, waterfalls (Soot Waterfall), karats phenomena, etc. TELASCICA- a large cove in the extreme south of the island Dug Took; around 10 km long and between 160 and 1,800 m wide, with several expansions with sandy and mud bottoms; the depth in the inner part attains 12 m, and in the outer part reaches up to 60 m. Telascica is one of the largest and most beautiful coves on the Croatian coast. The cove has 25 inlets, five islets and a special natural attraction - the salt lake. The cove represents good anchoring ground and shelter for yachts. VELEBIT- the longest mountain range in Croatia; stretching in form of a gentle arch from the cove of Senjska Draga and Vratnik to the upper course of the Zrmanja river, in the total length of about 145 km. The most beautiful hiking trail on Velebit is Premuzic's Trail (50 km long),with wonderful vista points. At 1,600 m, without much ascending, this trail leads hikers to the magnificent karst formations known as Rozanski Kukovi, which have been, due to their specific natural features, designated as a nature reserve, together with Hajducki Kukovi. There are several levels of nature conservation on Velebit: Velika and Mala Paklenica have been set aside as a national park; Rozanski and Hajducki Kukovi have the status of a strict nature reserve, while the entire mountain massif of Velebit, as a forest vegetation reserve, has been proclaimed a nature park. There are several other protected areas, among which the most important are the forest vegetation reserve Stirovaca and the geomorphologic natural monument Cerovacke Spilje (Cerovac Caves). In 1978 Velebit was included in the international network of biosphere reserves by the UNESCO. |
