food

Every region in Croatia has its own culinary specialties. Mainland cuisine is strongly inspired by the Slavik influences with a lot of black pepper, paprika and garlic. Along the coast the food is more Mediterranean with a lot of olive oil and herbs and spices like rosemary, citrus fruit and cinnamon.
With so many influences from other cultures food in Croatia is certainly not boring and it is very varied.

The main reason for proclaiming this area a national park was the protection of the largest and best preserved forest complex in the territory of Dalmatia, which was threatened by overexploitation. The Paklenica National Park stretches on the area of 95 km2 , on the littoral slope of South Velebit under the zone of highest mountain peaks Vaganski vrh (1752) and Sveto brdo (1753). about 80 km from Gajac
