Tallest Mountains in Croatia
Croatia’s tallest mountains are part of the Dinaric Alps (Dinaridi), a rugged limestone chain that runs parallel to the Adriatic coast. The landscape is famous for its “karst” topography, characterized by deep caves, jagged limestone crags, and stark white peaks set against the blue of the sea.
