wild and wooded areas along Horvat’s Path, the rocky
peak of Risnjak, and the wide alpine grasslands on
Snježnik. Visitors keen on unspoiled, wild nature should
visit the primeval forest in the area around the rocks of
Bijele stijene – but please contact the Park Authority
beforehand, as unguided tours are not allowed.
Učka Nature Park, a protected area on the border
between the counties of Primorje-Gorski kotar and
Istria, encompasses the massif of Učka and a part of
Ćićarija. From the Kvarner coast, a network of paths
and trails ascends the steep slopes of Učka through rural
landscapes, small villages and karst forests of famous
sweet chestnuts. This is the area where the best of Učka
is offered throughout the seasons: apart from sweet
chestnuts, the local gastronomy includes specialities of
Prohibited activities
asparagus and mushrooms, and the famous
medica
honey grape. If you visit the nicely preserved village of
Lovranska Draga, the path will lead you through the
forest to one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the
park. The highest peak of Učka, Vojak (1,401 m), offers
magnificent views right across Kvarner Bay, the northern
Adriatic, Istria and the distant peaks of Velebit, Gorski
kotar, and the Julian and Kamnik Alps.
We encourage you to leave your car behind to fully enjoy
the fresh air, the sounds, the scents and the scenes of
nature. To help you do this, we started the Učka Outdoor
Project and marked out some fifty hiking trails, eight
mountain biking trails, some sixty places for alpine
climbing, and two take-off ramps for hang-gliders and
paragliders.
