The Učka Nature Park predominately symbolizes great variety of features within the relatively small area. Thus, this is the only place on Earth where you can enjoy taking pictures of steno endemic Učka's Bellflower (Campanula tomassiniana), and it is also one of the very last European sites where your eyes will be awarded by impressive silhouettes that belong to Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) or Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos).

In only couple hours one of the numerous hiking trails will take you from the heritage of picturesque Mediterranean towns of North Adriatic coast through the forests of Učka's slope right to it’s highest peak Vojak at 1401 meter elevation. If weather is clear the old tower-like observatory on the top of Vojak offers full 360 degrees of breath-taking panorama: Croatian islands, Italian Alps, Istrian Peninsula, limestone towers of Vranjska Draga Special Geomorphologic Reserve, Bay of Trieste…

However, to get a complete impression of the Park one shouldn’t skip it’s man-made heritage: feel the rural ambient of the mountain villages, taste some of our traditional food or just share your good vibrations at one the local festivals.

All we tried to brief here leads to the conclusion that Učka evolved over the centuries as a blend of natural richness and human history that deserves special care and protection.
