If you want to get to Paklenica you can do it either from the coastal or the continental side:
The coastal option leads from Rijeka by Adriatic Highway, passes Senj, Karlobag all the way to Starigrad- Paklenica (180 km from Rijeka). Zadar is 46 km to the south of Starigrad.
The continental option is very easy. It leads from Zagreb by highway to Maslenica (junction of the Adriatic road) and further on to Starigrad-Paklenica (270 km from Zagreb). Approximately 200 m from the hotel Alan there is a narrow asphalt road turning off the main road towards the village Marasovići (there is the sign “National Park Paklenica” at the very spot where the roads branch off). Just after passing Marasovići you will see the entrance to the National Park. From here you can drive 2 more km to the parking lot and this parking lot is taken as a starting point for most of the described climbing routes.
🚶🏼♂️
Approach: Considering the fact that right under the rock face there is a path passing trough Klanci in the direction of the upper part of Paklenica, the aproach is quick and short (5-10 min). For the routes on the right part, turn left before the first bridge and climb up to the ledge from where the routes start.
🧗🏼♂️Descent: Stup – There are two possible alternatives: Abseil along the route BWSC (double rope is required). The safer alternative, possible with a single rope, is the abseil along the northeaster side: from the top a bit to the left down cca. 50 m, to the abseil piton. Three short abseils to the scree and down to the path (20-30 min).
