Above the beginning of Mala Paklenica valley which some 5km lower turns into fantastic canyon. They are in such a contrast. Upper part is tame, under deep and old beech forest while canyon is wild and rocky with up to 300m high perpendicular sides. Behind is sharp West ridge of Vlaski Grad (1375m) which mostly obscures North face of Jerkovac (1250m). Between them is Vlaskogradska Draga, side valley of Mala Paklenica. Photo taken from hour long trail between Ivine Vodice (1200m) and Vlaski Grad (1260m) refuges.
