NATURE PARK UČKA |

Nature Park is "a broad natural or partly cultivated area of land and/or sea featuring ecological characteristics of international and national importance, and pronounced landscape, educational, cultural, historical, tourist and recreational values. Economic and other activities and actions that do not endanger the main features and functions of the nature park are permitted within its territory". (Nature Protection Law)
The Učka Nature Park predominately symbolizes great variety of features within the relatively small area.
Thus, this is the only place on Earth where you can enjoy taking pictures of the endemic Učka's Bellflower (Campanula tomassiniana).
It is also one of the very last European sites where you can see impressive silhouettes that belong to Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) or Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).
If weather is clear the old tower-like observatory on the top of Vojak (1401 m) offers full 360º of breathtaking panorama: North Croatian islands, Italian Alps, Istrian Peninsula, limestone towers of Vranjska Draga Special Geomorphologic Reserve, Bay of Trieste…
However, to get a complete impression of the Park one shouldn’t skip its man-made heritage: feel the rural ambient of the mountain villages, taste some of our traditional food or just share your good vibrations at one the local festivals.
To conclude, Učka evolved over the centuries as a blend of natural richness and human history that deserves special care and protection.
