View from the lower slopes of...

View from the lower slopes of North Velebit (around 300m) and the Adriatic Road towards the Prvic (354m) island. Right of it is southernmost part of largest Croatian island Krk (568m). In the bay between bare sides is large group of white dots; that is Baska town on Krk. Behind the green valley top part of distant Ucka (1394m) mountains is visible. Left of Prvic is very short stretch of very long Cres (650m) island. Islands are bare because of Bura wind that blows from Velebit. Lonely Planet says that Croatian Adriatic Road (800km) is one of the most beautiful drives on the planet. Such view is one of infinite number of reasons why; section along the coast of Velebit is among most beautiful. Photo: Aleksandar Gospic
