The park can be reached within a few minutes’ climb from
Slatina, the centre of Opatija. Take Vladimir Gortan Street
– one of the entrances to the park is located immediately after
the Hotel Opatija. While in the park, one should also visit the
nearby area called Vrutki situated in a shaded ravine above
Slatina, through which the torrential stream of Vrutki flows.
To reach this spatially rather small area, continue uphill from
the entrance to the park through the ravine. Vrutki is a series
of small springs emerging from the rock, located on a slope of
the wooded torrential ravine.
