Risnjak

Planinarenje Gorski kotar

The grand massif of Risnjak, with its bare white rocks rising on the highest peaks, dominantly rises above the greenery of the Gorski Kotar forests. As the crown of the rising rocks stands Veliki Risnjak (1528 m), one of the most beautiful Croatian viewpoints, opening out to the endless vistas of Kvarner Bay, Kamnik and Julian Alps – Slovenia’s Snežnik, Klek, Bjelolasica, Velebit… You can find a place to rest in the modern mountain hut “Dr. Josip Schlosser Klekovski” (with a capacity of 55 beds), right at the foot of the peak, on the beautiful Schlosser's meadow, open from May to October. The most commonly taken routes to the top of the Risnjak massif are: from Crni Lug from the Park’s management building, from the Gornje Jelenje pass via Vilje, from Mrzla Vodica, from the direction of the Lazac meadow, and from the direction of Platak.

White and Saddle Rocks

Planinarenje Gorski kotar

It is telling that almost all protected natural areas of Gorski Kotar are related to the phenomenon of karst and are located in typical karst areas. That is why the karst regions of great beauty and the diverse landscapes of the continental, highland and mountainous parts of the county are primarily represented by our only strict nature reserve White and Saddle Rocks.

Bjelolasica

Planinarenje Gorski kotar

Bjelolasica is the tallest mountain of Gorski Kotar and an excellent viewpoint if you are lucky enough to reach the top in fair weather. One of the possible starting points for the climb is Begovo Razdolje (1,078 m), a small settlement in Gorski Kotar boasting as the highest inhabited settlement in Croatia. There are two ways for reaching the top – one via Žuta, and the other via Vrbovska poljana, both an about two and a half-hour walk.

Snježnik

The Snježnik massif, located north-west of the peak of Risnjak, is densely covered with vegetation. The peak of Snježnik (1506 m) is rocky, surrounded by flowering mountain meadows and offering beautiful views in all four directions. The Snježnik mountain hut, with a capacity of 20 beds, is located only a few minutes from the top.

Bitoraj

The peak of Mount Bitoraj is a group of rocks rising above the forest vegetation that covers the entire mountain. This peak is also the only viewpoint on Bitoraj. Because of the frequent gusts of the strong bora wind, this mountain is also called Burni ("Windy") Bitoraj. Just below the peak, stands the simple mountain refuge of Bitorajka.
