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 for most of the routes in Skradelin starts from parking lot and it is very obvious and easy.
🏃🏼♂️
Most routes are equipped for abseil. If you do not want to rappel, you need to go from top of the routes towards north ( partly marked) to the big stone gully and than left in the direction of the canyon, and parking lot (15-20min). For routes in the upper part of the wall you need to go right to the scree slope and than toward the road.
🧗🏼♂️Approach Ovčji kuk: From the parking lot go back along the road for a while. On the appropriate spot cross the creek and climb the steep, bushy slope to get to the foot of the rock face (10 min.).
🏃🏼♂️Descent: From the top along the ridge on the eastern side and along the slope in the direction of the creek (10 min.)
