Zrmanja & Velebit tour - Follow the Winnetou Trails

About the experience

Zrmanja Canyon half-day tour from Zadar takes you into the dramatic karst landscape of the Zadar hinterland, where towering cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and a slice of film history await just beyond the coast. The adventure begins at Pariževačka glavica, a scenic viewpoint perched above the Zrmanja River canyon, famous as the filming location of the "Pueblo plateau" scene from the classic Winnetou movies — a spot that has drawn Western film fans for decades and still delivers one of the most striking panoramas in the region. From here the route continues to Tulove Grede, a rugged limestone ridge whose jagged peaks rise dramatically from the surrounding forest, before descending to Muškovci and the waterfalls of the Zrmanja River, where a relaxed lunch stop lets you enjoy a hearty meal with the sound of cascading water and sweeping views as the backdrop. For those who want to add a touch of local sporting history, the tour can also include an optional stop at the old family home of football star Luka Modrić, offering a glimpse into the roots of one of Croatia's most celebrated athletes. Led by a guide fluent in English and German, the tour lasts between 3.5 and 4.5 hours, combining natural beauty, cinematic legacy, and authentic Dalmatian hinterland charm into one memorable half-day excursion.
