Discover the Wonders of Telašćica Nature Park

Located on the southeastern coast of Dugi Otok island, Telašćica Nature Park encompasses dramatic limestone cliffs that plunge into the Adriatic Sea, the crystal-clear salt lake Mir, hidden coves, lush Mediterranean vegetation, and a wealth of marine and terrestrial wildlife.

Geology & Landscape

The park’s signature 161-meter high cliffs were carved by millennia of tectonic shifts and sea erosion, offering panoramic views over the azure waters. Below, salt lake Mir—a unique saline body separated from the sea by a narrow isthmus—merits exploration for its vivid salmon-pink hues and mineral-rich waters.

Flora & Fauna

Telašćica supports over 500 plant species, including aromatic herbs like rosemary and sage. Birdwatchers may spot ospreys, gulls, and cormorants, while the marine reserve shelters octopus, conger eels, and schooling fish. Occasional dolphin pods cruise along the cliff base.
