ABOUT VELEBIT MOUNTAIN<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Velebit mountain is the\u00a0longest mountain in Croatia.\u00a0In its 145 km length, it has as many as 2 national parks, and the entire mountain area has been declared a Nature Park and is also the largest protected area in Croatia.\u00a0Due to its value and significance for the conservation of biological diversity, it is included in the network of international biosphere reserves of UNESCO.
\nDue to the extremely diverse and rich landscape, Velebit is a place that has many opportunities for exploration.\u00a0Whether you are a hiking enthusiast, or you would like to get to know the diverse world of flora and fauna.
\nVelebit Nature Park is the most important “center of endemic\u00a0species” in Croatia. On Velebit have been recorded 79 endemic species, and the mountain is home to: the brown bear (Ursus arctos), the wolf (Canis lupus) and the lynx (Lynx lynx).<\/p>\n

OLD MACADAM ROAD CALLED “MAJSTORSKA CESTA” (MASTER’S ROAD)<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Velebit has always connected the coast with the rest of Croatia, so for this purpose were built traffic\u00a0connections that have been extremely important. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Habsburg Monarchy built several important roads across Velebit due to the development of trade and traffic, and the Master’s Road is one of them.\u00a0It is a 41 km long road completely completed in 1832.
\nThe road stretches in the direction from St. Rok in the direction of Obrovac, and passes by the\u00a0mountain top\u00a0Tulove grede.
\nThis road was named after the advanced construction techniques used to build the road through the impassable mountain.\u00a0According to legend, the workers complained that it was extremely difficult to dig through the living rocks of the mountain, so a road engineer offered them a measure of gold for the same weight of excavated stone.<\/p>\n

TULOVE GREDE MOUNTAIN TOP (Tulo’s rafters)<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Tulove grede\u00a0(eng. Tulo’s rafters) are mountain top looking like steep rocky ridge made of limestone rocks that stretch for about one km, and the highest peak is 1120 m high.\u00a0Various tales and legends are associated with this mountain.\u00a0According to them, dragons laid here, and invisible Velebit fairies lived on the mountain.\u00a0People believed that the Black Queen who brought misfortune lived there, as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the 1960s, legendary films based on the novels of Karl May about the adventures of the Indian chief Winnetou were filmed\u00a0at this location. Karl May is a German writer whose novels have been translated in about thirty foreign languages and printed in millions of copies.\u00a0The Indian chief Winnetou from the film died on Mount Velebit, and after the death of the famous actor Pierre Brice who embodied the main character, his wife spilled his ashes on this mystical mountain.\u00a0On the mountain is a memorial plaque with an inscription dedicated to Winnetou and Pierre Brice.<\/p>\n
