Any postcard collector of UNESCO sites complains every now and then about how hard it its to get cards from certain sites; the Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe is definitely one of them. These forests can be found in 12 countries but so far I only have cards from 3 of them, Germany, Ukraine and now Croatia. In Croatia the classified forests are located in Northern Velebit and Paklenica National Parks, where this card sent by Antonella is from.
Paklenica National Park is located slightly inland from the coast of North Dalmatia, situated about 47 kms northeast of Zadar. The nearest coastal town is Starigrad Paklenica.
The park is south of Velebit range of mountains (the largest in Croatia) and covers an area of just under 100 square km. It has a mixture of high peaks with stunning views, deep gorges and beech and pine forest. - in: https://www.visit-croatia.co.uk/croatia-destinations/north-dalmatia/paklenica-national-park/
