Along Croatia’s coastline, the Velebit mountain range looms above rocky beaches and seaside towns filled with tourists. These mountains were inaccessible for ages, making it impossible to access until recent history.
That is, until mountaineer and engineer Ante Premužić started construction on a trail that would cross this karst wilderness. After three years of intense labor, the trail was finally finished in 1933. It became known as the Premužić Trail, and it still serves as the only way to cross the higher peaks of Velebit National Park on foot.
One of the most notable features of the Premužić Trail is the way it is constructed. Built with what is called the ‘drystone technique’, the trail is built out of carefully placed stones that create a solid footpath through even the roughest terrain.
