Viewpoint Perić

— About the viewpoint

Wilderness on a step from your accommodation

The viewpoints of Skradski vrh (1044m), Perić and Kavranova stijena are located in the Municipality of Skrad. The walk along the three-viewpoint trail begins at Skrad railway station and passes through the village centre, around the church of St. Anthony of Padua towards Skradska draga, where the first viewpoint — Kavranova stijena — is located just before the valley. The road then continues past the football pitch to the second viewpoint, Perić, from where the ascent to the highest point — Skradski vrh — begins.

From the viewpoints, the eye sweeps over Skrad, the Zeleni vir and Vražji prolaz canyon, the Kupa valley and all the way to Risnjak, the Slovenian Snežnik and the Alpine massif. This is also part of the so-called Goranska planinska transverzala trail and the Šiljar Botanical Educational Trail covering vegetation at higher altitudes. Hikers often combine the ascent to Skradski vrh starting from the lowest point — Zeleni vir.
