Paklenica is a mountain National Park, easy to get to if you go to Starigrad (via bus or a car), about 45 minutes away. It has entrance fees so check those out in advance. If you enjoy mountain climbing and rocky areas, this is a must-see in Zadar area. If you're visiting in summer though, make sure to take plenty of water, good shoes and sun protection!

Paklenica National Park is located slightly inland from the coast of North Dalmatia, situated about 47km north (northeast) from Zadar. The nearest coastal town to the park is Starigrad Paklenica. The Park is south of the Velebit range of mountains (the largest in Croatia) and covers an area of just under 100 square km. It had a mixture of high peaks with stunning views and deep gorges, covered in beech and pine forests. The Park is an ideal place to visit for the adventurous – there are several challenging hiking trails, and climbing is also popular here. For those who like things a little more laid-back, there’s more gentle walks available too, with just as much to explore.
