Upper Velika Paklenica

Spring in the upper Velika Paklenica valley. 10mins above the Paklenica hut are 3 hamlets: Ramici, Parici & Knezevici. This house is one of those in Parici. People used to live here permanently but have moved to the coast in search of easier life in second half of XX century. Today houses are used for leisure. Only in Ramici hamlet still Jole Ramic and his wife live, they couldn't leave Velebit while kids moved to Starigrad Paklenica. Both have over 80 years. Today they are people who live farthest from civilization in Croatia. Closest road is parking in canyon of Velika Paklenica, 1.40h away. Photo: Aleksandar Gospic
