The Premužić trail

The Premužić trail is named after its creator, Ante Premužić (1889 – 1979), the civil engineer and passionate mountaineer that built roads and trails on Velebit. As a matter of fact, the construction of the trail was completed in just three years (1930 – 1933), thus making it accessible to tourists. Given that the trail is built using the drystone technique, it is considered a masterpiece of trail building.
