The Peaceful Paradise Of Lika
Lika is a region but a city. Furthermore, it is one of Croatia's most sparsely populated regions. As a result, this is a popular destination for those seeking peace and quiet. That is not to say that there isn't anything to do or see. However, its main characteristics are peace and natural beauty, which you should be aware of when planning a trip.
Having said that, the largest city in Lika – Gospi – offers a wide range of activities. Cave exploration is a big thing in Lika because there are so many caves. You could also visit one of the three national parks in the area. Plitvice Lakes, North Velebit, or Paklenica are all worth visiting. Or how about a trip to the Velebit Natural Park? You could also go fishing or hunting if that is something you enjoy. Cycling and sport climbing, paragliding, and many other outdoor activities are available.
In Lika, you'll also find the Nikola Tesla Memorial Center, which honors the great scientist and inventor. You might wonder why on Earth something like that exists in Lika. The solution is straightforward. Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, the village where the memorial center is located.
- Location: the Velebit mountain from the southwest and the Plješevica mountain from the northeast.
