Valorizacija
The Velebit Channel is a long sea passage between the coast of the mainland and the island along the coast that stretches from the capes of the island of Krk all the way to the passage into the Novigrad Sea. This sea route is navigable along its entire length, along which you can observe numerous islands and important sights such as the Nehaj fortress, which is located south of the port of Senj. It is important to emphasize the importance of the bora in this channel. Here it acts with the strongest intensity and begins very abruptly and with great speed.
