Multimedia DVD
The multimedia DVD titled “Wilderness, Diversity, Beauty, Freedom” consists of an interactive part „About the Park“, which introduces the natural assets and the cultural heritage of the region, a „virtual tour” of the Premužić Trail and the Velebit Botanical Garden, and a quiz called „Who Am I?“ in which viewers are asked to guess the animal from the sound, trace or a detail in a photograph. The DVD also contains a 20-minute promotional film, without narration, which presents the Northern Velebit in a very attractive way through the change of the four seasons. The promotional DVD is bilingual (Croatian and English) and was supported by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and the Croatian Tourism Board.
