Información
Risnjak is a mountain in the Risnjak National Park, in Gorski Kotar, Croatia. It belongs to the Dinaric Alps mountain range. The name of the massif probably comes from ris, the Croatian word for lynx. Another interpretation suggests that it comes from the local word risje, which is a name for a type of grass.
The vegetation is very diverse. Thirty different plant communities have been recorded, of which the most common are beech and fir forests which go up to 1240 m and then are replaced by sub-alpine beeches. The highest vegetation is a belt of mountain pine. The fauna is also diverse, but has been less well researched. There are particularly many species of birds and mammals, including several types of chamois, while since 1974 the area has once again been inhabited by the ris.
