Starigrad-Paklenica is a town and harbour located on the coastline of the Velebit canal, at the foot of Mt Velebit and 50km away from Zadar. In Starigrad's hinterland is the National Park Paklenica which encompasses two canyons; Velika and Mala Paklenica. A river runs through the Velika Paklenica canyon which is about 10km long and its steep sides reach up to 400m in height. The canyons of Velika and Mala Paklenica are separated by a 500m high plateau which is 7km long. The National Park Paklenica is a magnificent natural phenomenon which has many caves, the Manita cave (175m long) being the most well-known, as well as many other hidden secrets.

Starigrad-Paklenica is the starting point for visitors who would like to visit the National Park Paklenica and, being so close to Mt Velebit; guests can enjoy outdoor activities such as mountain climbing and free-climbing.
