Letenje Since the very beginnings of modern paragliding and hang-gliding, Učka has attracted many enthusiasts of these sports and hosted several Croatian and international competitions. The Učka paragliding and hang-gliding area is located within the nature park’s borders and includes take-off ramps at Vojak and Brgud.

In cooperation with the Homo Volans paragliding and hang-gliding club, the Učka Nature Park Public Institution registered the Učka paragliding and hang-gliding area with two take-off ramps, Vojak and Brgud, and one landing area, the plain of Boljunsko polje (please see the map for more details).
