Velebit is a must-see - it is Croatia's most extensive mountain range. The entire chain is included in the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme's World Network of Biosphere Reserves. Indeed, there is an exceptional wealth of plant and animal species. Apart from all this, Velebit is especially recommended for people who prefer outdoor recreation. Mountaineering is an excellent activity, and many marked trails on Velebit allow enthusiasts of this sport to practice it. Also, there are refuges for mountaineers to stay.
For history enthusiasts, Gospic is a treasure trove. A visit to the Lika Museum, established in 1958, is highly recommended. It houses a rich collection of exhibits on the region's past, including numismatic, archaeological, and historical departments, a weapons collection and gallery department, and an ethnographic department with a unique and traditional house from the Dinara sector.
Senj is another city not to be missed in the province. However, stopping at the Nehaj fortress, which dates back to the fifteenth century, is highly recommended. It is also home to the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a remarkable religious and cultural moment in the city. There is also the Church of Santa Maria d'Arta, Uskocka Street and Cilnica Square or the city walls with the Lipica, Leonova, Sabac, and Trybenad towers. Getting there is undoubtedly a must. ◄
