underline-wave.png

To whichever of the 6 Vinodol vantage points you climb a view of Velebit, the Velebit Channel, the Kvarner islands, Učka, and the whole of the valley to Grižane will open up to you, and it will immediately become clear that the Vinodol valley is an ideal place for a break. This doesn’t mean taking it easy, because Vinodol offers plenty of activities, from those sporting to those linked with exploring the many historical and cultural attractions. And all in an atmosphere of authentic cuisine, wine and accommodation.

“EYES OF VINODOL” OR THE STORY OF SIX VANTAGE POINTS SCATTERED THROUGH VINODOL

The entire Vinodol is a beautiful story, composed of rich history, numerous cultural and historical monuments, natural resources and tradition. It is one thing to experience Vinodol by passing through it, and quite another to see it from the “bird’s-eye view”

Six locations for vantage points were selected:

(3) are located in the District of Vinodol:

  • overlooking Drivenik – Mahavica vantage point
  • overlooking Grižane/Tribalj – Pridva vantage point
  • overlooking Bribir – Slipica vantage point

(3) are located in the Town of Novi Vinodolski:

  • overlooking Ledenice – Gradina vantage point
  • at the foot of Sviba – Sviba vantage point
  • and by Krmpote – Kuk vantage point

During the development of the conceptual design as well as during the construction of the vantage points, the attractiveness of the lookouts was taken into account, ie special landscape values, with wide views that give the overall landscape of the entire space, and that they are close to road communications (preferably paved). unobstructed access by bus or mini bus.

During the construction and arrangement of the vantage points, care was taken to protect the natural environment, compliance with the existing landscape so as not to impair the authenticity of the environment.

Each vantage point has adequate signalization, parking space, as well as a number of benches and waste bins.
