While enjoying a crystal clean sea and your sight is taken away by Velebit Mountain and Tulove grede above, it is hard to believe that those two are responsible for the surprising splendour of natural pebble beaches in the Jasenice Municipality.

Mountain Velebit, protected because of its outstanding nature’s values and biodiversity partly belongs to the Jasenice Municipality.

Out of the impressive 203551,12 ha which is the total amount of Velebit protected area surface, 8 270,28 ha is a part of the Jasenice Municipality area, representing 4,10 % of total protected area. Velebit is included in UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves.

From the southern side of Tulove grede there is a beautiful sink-hole Dolac, one of locations where, during the 60’s, based on the novels of Karl May, series of movies about Winnetou were filmed.
Tulove grede and surrounding sinkholes were scenery of American Wild West and many admirers of the legendary German Western films even today are regular visitors of Velebit.
Tulove grede is known as the mountain where Chief Winnetou died. After the death of the actor Pierre Brice who portrayed the first and most popular Chief Winnetou in the series, his widow spread his ashes on this magnificent peak.

Majstorska road is the most beautiful mountain road in Croatia, offering spectacular views on the peaks of Velebit Mountain, Zadar hinterland and the sea. It was built in the 19th century. In total, it is 41 km long and was the first road connecting Croatian North and South.

Canyon of Zrmanja River is an untouched piece of land. The best way to reach the canyon is over Jasenice (direction Obrovac), a couple of kilometres east of Maslenica. As well, among others, this was a movie location for the Native American Chief Winnetou movies.

To the location of Pueblo plato (Pariževačka glavica) one gets by taking the road in Jasenice towards Obrovac. After passing through Jasenice village the way turns right on an unpaved road which leads to a small plateau, at the very edge of the imposing canyon of Zrmanja River, or Rio Pecos- Zrmanja’s name in the movie. This location was the Indian village – homeland of Apache chief Winnetou. Winnetou (Pierre Brice) and Old Shatterhand (Lex Barker) became blood brothers. From the plateau there is an amazing view on the sharply cut canyon of the Zrmanja River which will remain indelibly in memory of each visitor. Exact movie locations on the river can be seen during organized boat excursions, starting from Maslenica. With impressive rocks emerging from the river, right after its estuary starts a canoe scene of Old Shatterhand and Intschu-tschuna. The scene ends about 2 km up the river, next to an impressive boulder on the right side. That is the location of the scenes with old Shatterhand’s attempt to reach the totem pole and spectacular bandit ride on a raft on a burning river Rio Pecos.

Very seldom, a contemporary Croatian bridge had such an unusual destiny like this bridge over Maslenica gorge, that carries the name Maslenica Bridge or lately, very often Old Maslenica Bridge, so it could be distinguished from a new concrete bridge, not far away, a part of the highway Zagreb – Split.

Almost everybody, and this will doubtless remain, considered Maslenica Bridge the most beautiful one in Croatia. Especially for its perfect fit into the stingy rocky ground, where the vegetation has a rare presence. Actually, it was and remained some kind of Croatian cultural good – a monument of contemporary architectural Croatian heritage. The Old Maslenica Bridge, now being part of the regional road instead of a highway, has significantly less traffic than its neighbor New Maslenica bridge. But for those who drive along our coast, love to enjoy beauty rather than speed, it is an important destination. Because of significantly less traffic than it had in its “first life”, because now, it is out of the main traffic trajectory, probably, once a nice motel above the bridge will never be renovated. It is certain this bridge during the strong bora (NE wind) times shields travellers better than its much bigger twin brother.

Modrič Cave was accidentally discovered in 1980, although its location is relatively close to the Jadranska magistrala road, at only 29 metres above the sea level.

Existing geomorphological, archaeological and speleological explorations tell us about the cave’s natural and scientific value. Some 800 metres of this cave give a special experience of the underground world: completely untouched nature, no concrete paved trails, no spotlights or mass tourist groups. The cave has an indented shape, distinctive for alternate sequencing of narrow stalagmite slits and bigger spacious halls in two directions. It is decorated with extraordinary precipitated calcite forms. You’ll find yourself surrounded by the world of stalactites, stalagmites, imaginative pillar forms alike jelly-fish, cuttlefish, Red queen … whatever your imagination allows you to think. The interior of the cave is easy to walk because the channels have enough height and width for passage, but without an expert guide and specific equipment, it is not possible to explore the cave.

Tulove Grede (Tulo, Tulovice) are the peculiar karst phenomena on Velebit. They are located in the Velebit Nature Park.

Tulove Grede is an exposed rocky ridge composed of many steep limestone cliffs, about 1 km long. Many legends and folktales are related to those cliffs. There, dragons laid eggs and Velebit fairies lived in them. The third mythological being that many believed to have lived there is a Black Queen who brought misfortune. The mountain pass Kraljičina vrata (Queen’s door) was named after this queen from legend. Its imposing look and feeling of awe caused once you see it will help you understand why there are so many legends and stories connected to this area.

The church of St. Jerome was built in 1874, at the same location where it used to be a parish church of Holy Trinity.

In Croatian War of Independence, on the feast of St Jerome’s in 1991, the church was blown up.

After the end of the war and the return of the inhabitants to the Municipality, the church was gradually renovated.

Stands on a hillside of the Velebit Mountain, beneath Tulove Grede. It was built by the Austrian emperor Francis I in 1832, in memory of a newly built road that connected south and north Croatia over the karst Velebit Mountain.

The most beautiful church decoration was the altar painting of St. Francis shows Assisi beggar receiving the stigmata from Christ.

Today the painting is exhibited in the Museum of Fine Arts in Split.
