The grand massif of Risnjak, with its bare white rocks rising on the highest peaks, dominantly rises above the greenery of the Gorski Kotar forests. As the crown of the rising rocks stands Veliki Risnjak (1528 m), one of the most beautiful Croatian viewpoints, opening out to the endless vistas of Kvarner Bay, Kamnik and Julian Alps – Slovenia’s Snežnik, Klek, Bjelolasica, Velebit… You can find a place to rest in the modern mountain hut “Dr. Josip Schlosser Klekovski” (with a capacity of 55 beds), right at the foot of the peak, on the beautiful Schlosser’s meadow, open from May to October. The most commonly taken routes to the top of the Risnjak massif are: from Crni Lug from the Park’s management building, from the Gornje Jelenje pass via Vilje, from Mrzla Vodica, from the direction of the Lazac meadow, and from the direction of Platak.
