Shelter Vlaški grad:

At the measuring station at Zavižan (1594 m a.s.l.) there is now 70 cm.
On Saturday it was a very warm day, no snow on the southern side and Sv. Brdo was without. The Lika side is still quite snowy. Overnight to Sunday above 1300 m a.s.l. some snow fell. Probably more tonight. I'm not much help to you I live 450 km from Velebit...

Does anyone have experience with Kayland boots (Titan GTX)?

All foot approaches to Brezovo polje from Strmac are completely safe and there are no mines (there weren't any either). Mines are north and west of Brezovo polje and in the crnogorična forest directly before the road junction where one road branch leads to the transmitter, and the other past the brick tower with control point.

Thanks!

And descent? Via the educational trail or ?

a) Isn't the "over Žrelo" path closed!?

b) If park at arranged parking before cable car, and descend via Jenkovo planina must walk back to car.

Walking path to Rinka waterfall

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...
