Description

One of Croatia’s best-kept natural secrets, this 160-sq-km rarely visited park lies just 30 minutes from the Opatija riviera. Comprising the Učka mountain massif and the adjacent Ćićarija plateau, it’s officially split between Kvarner and Istria. On clear days Vojak (1401m), its highest peak, affords sublime views of the Italian Alps and the Bay of Trieste.
