100m high and over 300m long
Maslenicki Most (Maslenica Bridge) spans over
Novsko Zdrilo (Novsko Gorge), which connects
Velebit channel and
Novigradsko More sea. Bridge is part of Zagreb-Zadar-Split highway and is frequently closed because of
Bura wind which blows from
Velebit. Record Bura gust of
305kmh/190mph was measured here! Before glacial period Novsko Zdrilo gorge was the canyon of
Zrmanja river but as sea levels raised it became part of the world sea. Behind is
South Velebit,
Paklenica area. Above the bridge is
Viserujna (1632m). Black peak left of Viserujna is
Veliki Golic (1268m). By the right edge is
Crljeni Kuk (1661m).
