Velebit is often imagined as bare stone. Štirovača offers its quieter counterpoint: a forested landscape with a different light, a cooler mood and a sense of enclosure after the exposed heights.

Come for the contrast rather than a checklist. Let the transition from rock to woodland become the story of the day, and check access before including this area in a driving or walking itinerary.

Before you go

Mountain roads and facilities are seasonal. Confirm the approach and current conditions with the park before travelling.
