Risnjak

Risnjak is a Croatian national park in the mountainous region of Croatia. Because of its unique aesthetic, geological, geographical, and climatic features, it was designated as a national park in 1953. Risnjak Mountain is found in the Gorski Kotar area, which is famed for its mountains, forests, and unspoiled environment. The mountain's name is derived from the Croatian word "ris," which means "lynx," a species that was eradicated from the region in the nineteenth century.

Risnjak was designated as a National Park in 1953 due to its natural beauty and uncommon plant and animal species. It is now one of Croatia's eight national parks.You may climb up to Veliki Risnjak (1,528 m), Snjenik (1,506 m), Sjeverni Mali Risnjak (1,434 m), and Juni Mali Risnjak (1,434 m) if you want to conquer its summits (1,448 m).
