Description
Let me take you on an exciting full day sightseeing trip, which includes various stops and relatively easy 2h hike, during which we'll visit mountains, caves and rivers of Zadar area.
Our emphasis will be on UNESCO protected Velebit mountain range, the most beautiful in Croatia, which offers fantastic scenery and views. This full day trip begins and ends in Zadar. It is done in the air conditioned vehicle. First we will visit 2 attractive viewpoints to Maslenica bridge and river Zrmanja where Indian village from famous German Winnetou movies stood. Then we will cross over the Velebit range via historic Master's Road and pass below scenic limestone cliffs of Tulove Grede, where we will do a 2h easy and scenic hike with great views. From there we will continue over the Velebit range and cross to its heavily forested northern side, with primeval forests. Then we will descend to lush green mountainous Lika region and proceed to visit beautiful Cerovačke Špilje (Cerovac Caves) (entrance is 11€ for one cave and 15€ for both caves, this is the only additional cost during the tour). After cave visit we will cross Velebit again and descend to river Zrmanja for a refreshing swim in its crystal clear waters (summer season).

Bring sun screen and hat/cap if you are sensitive to sun. Bring you own food and drinks, but we also stop at a bakery on the way out of Zadar, so you can also count to get your food there.
