UcKA nature park

Ucka Nature Park, with its area of 160 km2, includes the mountain Ucka and a part of the Cicarija plateau. The highest peaks are Vojak (1396 m) on Ucka and Veli Planik (1272 m) on Cicarija.
Due to its location, relief, geological structure, geomorphology, climate, rich forest vegetation and protected and endemic flora and fauna species, Ucka Mountain is unique to this part of Istria and Kvarner. The relief and immediate vicinity of the sea have resulted in a peculiar climate favorable to the growth of rich forest vegetation spreading from the shore to the top of the mountain. In addition to its natural phenomena, the attractions of Ucka Mountain also include its indigenous cultural and architectural heritage and traditional agriculture. On the legendary mountain and in other parts of the Park you can find lots of peaceful places to relax and enjoy the magnificent beauty of the landscape. Apart from other ways and means, you may cover these open spaces by bike, hiking or running, and enjoy the fresh air and magnificent landscapes. The coolness of the forests, birds warbling in the sky and murmuring waters will fill you with joy and exhilaration for having reached your target by your own determination and physical effort.
