Route Details:
Departure from village Rizvanuša and Adventure Centre Rizvan City (village foothill of Velebit, 10 km from Gospić). We will drive by state asphalt road through Baške Oštarije, passing by the popular hotel Velebno and coming down from the main road to hamlet Stupačinovo and arrive to the foothill of Dabarski kukovi. We will continue up to the lookout Ura (Kubus) where we will see wonderful landscape of Island Pag, Velebit channel etc. We will turn to village Ledenik and continue by gravel road along the beautiful views of Island Pag to Dabarska kosa where there is an open view of the valley of Ravni Dabar and former school, now a climber's lodging.

The route leads us to the tunnel carved by bare hands during the Austria- Hungary empire. We will drive above the Došen Dabar, Došen-Dulibe and Bačić-Dulibe (all formerly inhabited and cultivated). After some time we will arrive to the point that gives an awesome view to Dabarski kukovi (the most interesting part of the middle Velebit from the geomorphologic and landscape point of view). We will enjoy in landscape and after some time sit in our terrain vehicles ad continue our route. We will stop at the hole "snježnica" (snow-hole) where you can find snow during the entire year (very impressive, Velebit is a route of holes and abysses).
Later on, we will circle around Dabarski kukovi and arrive to the old abandoned village Skorpovac where we can take a look at the house remains where used to live Velebit highlanders. We will continue our drive towards Ledenik and return to Rizvan City.
