Bijele Stijene

White rocks reserve.

Bijele Stijene sits in Lika & Gorski Kotar, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the natural attraction is the reason most people stop.

Pack water and shade, these spots rarely have either.

Practical info

• Entry: confirm entry fees and hours on the official site before you set out. They shift with the season, and some places shut altogether off-season.
• How to get there: Use the map above for directions. Town parking is usually paid and signposted, watch for the blue P zones, and allow extra time if a ferry is part of your route.

When to go

Plan Bijele Stijene for May to October, with June and September the quietest warm months. July and August bring the crowds and the heat; winter is cheaper and handsomer than people expect, especially in the inland cities.
