Mountains have special place in the hearts and minds of many nations, to some are even national symbols like Triglav is to Slovenians or Olympus to Greeks. In Croatia it is often said that Velebit is such symbol to Croatians'; a mythical mountain, a home of Gods. In the world of today such beliefs belong to fairytale, but pride, admiration, respect, beauty, myth, reverence, defiance are just some of the words which Velebit evokes in Croatian people. When comparing height with higher mountains, like Triglav and Olympus or Alps, Velebit does not come close but its beauty and amazing diversity, powerful appearance, length beyond one's sight, unbreakable bondage with crystal clear blue sea at its foot make Velebit one of the most special and unique mountain in the world. Velebit has one more thing that many mountains lost long ago, its innocence.

 There are no huge huts, no hordes of people, just peace and wilderness. Till mid 20th century Velebit was quite isolated area. Even today there are many places where humans didn’t step with their foot. Yet Velebit left important mark in the history, literature and science of Croatian people. Zeljko Poljak, one of Croatian pioneers in mountain literature goes one step further saying that large number of Velebit enthusiast’s and Velebit experts created, by their field research and published work, a discipline we can call Velebitology. In 1978 value of Velebit was recognized by UNESCO which declared it a part of the international network of Biosphere Reserves. Velebit is one of the world’s undiscovered natural treasures.
