Paklenica National Park is the most important Croatian climbing center, known beyond the borders of Croatia. The special charm of this climbing area is given by the proximity of the sea coast, so Paklenica Riviera is an ideal place for a combination of climbing and water sports. Today, on the Paklenica climbing area, which is arranged in carbonate rocks, there are about 590 equipped and arranged routes of different weights and lengths, so every climber can find something for their enjoyment.
The largest number of short sports routes is located in Klanci, the narrowest part of the Velika Paklenica canyon, which are also suitable for climbers with small children due to their easy access.
The Crljenica sector is especially interesting and suitable for climbing in the winter months.
The most famous rock for climbing in Paklenica is Anića kuk, in which there are up to 350 m long routes of different character, from unequipped, through technical to modern long sports routes.
Numerous long routes in the rocks of Debeli kuk, Veliki Ćuk, Kuk od Skradeline and Kukovo pod Vlake are also attractive to climbers.
The main climbing season in Paklenica starts in spring and lasts until late autumn. The largest number of climbers gather here around May 1 when the traditional International Meeting of Climbers is held with a whole range of events and competitions.
