Vaganski Vrh Velebit

1758m.

Vaganski Vrh Velebit sits in Lika & Gorski Kotar, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the mountain is the reason most people stop.

Start early, tell someone your route, and turn back if the cloud comes down.

Practical info

• Entry: look up the current price and opening hours before you go. Both change through the year, and a few spots close completely out of season.
• How to get there: Tap the map for the route. Croatian town parking is mostly paid and marked with blue P signs; if your trip involves an island, build buffer time in for the ferry.

Best time to visit

Plan Vaganski Vrh Velebit 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.
