If you are staying in
one of our beautiful villas in Croatia, whether in the Kvarner region or in Dalmatia, the
mighty mountain Velebit will surely be on your way.
Take the opportunity and
visit the lovely village Krasno in Velebit´s hinterland and discover this laid back, but very interesting part of Croatia. The place Krasno is not only one of the starting points for discovering Velebit and visiting the
National Park Northern Velebit but is also the
home of the Velebit House- the visitors´ and information center of the National Park.
The Velebit House consists of
four floors, connecting several topics and presenting all-
natural and cultural treasures of Velebit.
Here you can learn about biodiversity, many plant species, birds, insects, and beasts. You can learn all about the great diversity of Velebit´s unique karst forms.
Velebit has a huge underground area. By 2017, about
440 speleological features were discovered and most of them are not open for tourism, recreatives, and others due to the fact that this area is home to
many endemic species that must be protected. So, the House of Velebit will show you all that you cannot experience live. Here you will be able to see the
mysterious underground world of Velebit through
Lukina Jama- the deepest pit of the Dinaric Alps. You will see the flora and fauna that you did not see before and
become a speleologist for a moment.
In the Velebit House, you can also learn a lot about
meteorology. You can even use the laboratory and check
historic instruments that were used for observing weather conditions.
Besides all that, the Velebit House will tell you about the life and
culture of Velebit´s inhabitants.
All the above mentioned and much more waits for you in the Velebit House through a
modern and interesting interactive exhibition. Velebit house will fulfill your day with interesting and educative content, that both,
adults and children will enjoy.
