Tulove Grede

Velebit.

Tulove Grede sits in Lika & Gorski Kotar, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the viewpoint is the reason most people stop.

Check the weather before you commit to a drive or a climb. Haze kills the view, and the best light is around sunrise or the hour before sunset.

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: Tap the map above for exact directions. In Croatian towns parking is usually signposted and paid, look for the blue P zones. If you are island hopping, leave buffer time for the ferries.

When to go

Aim for May to October at Tulove Grede, and within that, June and September for warm water without the peak crowds. High summer means heat and queues; winter, by contrast, is quiet, cheap and surprisingly handsome inland.
