How bare it all is, when I was there in summer it was much more overgrown. And no, not crowded in summer either  .
Thanks for reviving nice memories.

Nice pictures @Wine.
Planning the southern part this summer (family at the sea, dad in the mountains). Got any ideas what to visit (besides Vaganski vrh)?! 
Regards

Stap (Stapina and Kamena galerija)-starting point: village Ljubotić at 300m asl near Starigrad-Paklenica
Bojinac (Bojin kuk)-starting point: Vaganac plateau above Starigrad
Vaganski vrh-Sveto brdo, ridge traverse, possible loop with Velika and Mala Paklenica-starting point: Starigrad Paklenica
But everything rocks... just watch out for the sun and vipers

During holidays a bit of wandering around Southern Velebit. Visiting the picturesque Tulove grede turned out to be an unforgettable experience. The hike through Velika Paklenica canyon revealed beautiful views at every step. The breathtaking view of the vertical wall of Anića kuk where climbers from all over the world go has made the strongest impression on me personally. I recommend visiting the underground cave Manita peć, as the path to it offers views of the canyon itself, and the cave hides incredibly beautiful stalactite formations (cave at 570m asl, separate entry fee-20 kuna). I was surprised by the amount of water in V. Paklenica stream, which forms numerous waterfalls, rapids and pools along its way. We also visited the karst plateau Veliko Rujno, where there is a neat little church. (road turnoff marked in Starigrad) Even though we didn't visit the highest peaks, we saw many natural sights that this area offers. Finally, I should mention the diverse vegetation: abundance of cyclamen, sage bushes, wild asparagus, hellebores, blooming acacia and much more. (refers to V. Paklenica canyon)

Please, nanica, write more about your visit to Tulove grede. From which side did you drive? Where did you start hiking? Did you climb to the top (Croatian flag)? How is it actually now with mines or markings? I know, lots of questions ... Thanks for answers!

With my son we visited Bojinac and its highest peak - Bojin kuk.
We started early, so no problems uphill, but on the way back the heat showed its teeth. From the parking lot to Bojin kuk the path led through macchia up and down a bit. The views are phenomenal all the way. First we climbed Krilati kuk, then with the help of fixed ropes to Bojin kuk. In dry conditions the ascent with proper shoes is relatively easy, in wet it becomes very dangerous.
We descended via "Bablji put", where a free-hanging rope helps at one spot.
Excellently spent vacation day.

Nice tour. In this heat it might pay to shorten the footpath by driving higher by car to Veliko rujno plateau from where there are two more or less marked access variants to Bojin kuk. Garmont, do you have a photo of the mentioned spot with the free-hanging rope on "Bablji put" - I can't remember it for the life of me?

Šodrovec, from Veliko Rujno it's about the same walking time as from Veliko Vaganac where Garmont started. But from V. Rujno you can then make a loop tour Vaganac-Bojinac-Rujno-Vaganac

Sadly, I don't have pictures of that spot. It's a mountaineering 8mm rope about 8 meters long, attached to the ground on the upper side and serves for descent/ascent when wet. It's placed on a smooth rock section in the upper half of Bablji put.
Maybe "freely lying" rope is a better term, as it lies on the ground.

It's been a bit more than a year since I went the Bablji way, but before there was no fixed protection on that trail. From Rujno there are two variants, over Veliko dolac - well marked and over Liskovo dolac - a bit harder to find the start of the trail, both about 2h. The variants from Rujno have one small drawback - they don't pass below Jagin kuk. The nicest is to go via Krilatog kuka (junction shortly after Jagin kuk), before that to the stone shelter PHOTO.

I used vacation for repeated visit to Velebit beauties.
First day visited demined Badanj and slept in bivouac at Struge. Next day Vaganski vrh, little known Liburnija and pointed Babin kuk. Path is solidly marked, also some off-trail in between. Descent from Liburnija is quite demanding, ascent to Babin kuk is secured climbing path......by Velebit standards.
Of course hot, but that's how it is here.

What does "mirila" mean in Slovenian (p.58)
|
|
|
|
| Wine11. 03. 2014 11:57:24 |
something like a grave
resting place where they deposited the dead to the sea to cemetery (carried them on hands to valley). place where dead body lay "on rest" they then marked with stones like grave

Mirila are specific to the coastal side of South Velebit. While people once lived (summer dwellings) high in the mountains, the deceased was carried by hands to the cemetery in the village where it was buried. At places where after several hours of exhausting walk the carriers stopped to rest, they laid the deceased on the ground (mostly at passes from which the sea is visible) and there they marked his measure with stones (Ikavian "mira"). Later, this place was paved with stones and visited and honored as the contemporary grave of the deceased because it was believed that the soul of the deceased stayed there, while the body without soul was placed in a grave which was later reused for another deceased or in a collective ossuary where the deceased were placed and no markers were put. Headrests on mirila are decorated with various figures, and the newer ones also with inscriptions...
@jasminka-->Thanks for praises of the photos
