B – Sveti Juraj – Oltari
Trail A - Senj – Oltari, Trail B - St. Juraj – Oltari, Trail C - Vratnik – Oltari All three trails go along the western slope of Velebit, facing the sea and overlooking the Kvarner Bay and islands. The trails include marked local and forest roads that connect small, picturesque mountain villages, alternating the path with beautiful rocky grasslands, pine and beech forests and breathtaking views of the sea. Trails A and B at the beginning (first 8 km) are slightly more inclined and require more effort, but later, when you reach the gravel road, the ascending becomes milder and all your efforts are awarded with breathtaking vistas. Don't miss visiting the Crni vrh lookout to enjoy a view of the Kvarner's islands and Velebit's coastline.
