The core of the Centre is a multimedia exhibition that presents the geological, biological, and cultural heritage of Učka and Ćićarija using modern technologies. Through interactive content, visitors can explore the mountain, its people, and nature, while its innovative and technologically advanced approach to interpretation leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.


In addition to the exhibition, the Centre includes educational and conference rooms, a souvenir shop, an info point, and a café with a terrace and a children’s playground. Numerous hiking and educational trails begin nearby, and visitors can also rent e-bikes to explore the surrounding peaks.


The Poklon Visitor Centre is designed as a place of encounter, dialogue, and inspiration – a space that encourages learning, exploration, and respect for nature. As the beating heart of Učka Nature Park, it celebrates the timeless bond between people and the mountain — preserving the beauty, peace, and values that make this protected area truly unique and protected.

The central part of the Poklon Visitor Centre is the contemporary exhibition which, with the help of multimedia, new technologies and rich textual content, guides visitors through a playful, educational, and entertaining journey across the features of Učka Nature Park – its past and present, from the formation of the mountain and its natural phenomena to traditional customs, architecture, and everyday life of the people of Učka.


The exhibition takes visitors on a “walk” through Učka Nature Park, from the underground world of the mountain to its highest peak – Vojak (1401 m).

The halls are housed within a building that combines modern design with natural materials and are fully accessible to people with disabilities. Special attention has been paid to sustainability i.e. renewable energy and eco-friendly materials. The Centre’s professional team provides organizational support, making the Poklon Visitor Centre a place that combines professionalism, inspiration, and environmental responsibility.


Alongside the conference halls, the Poklon Visitor Centre also includes an exhibition area, as well as educational, hospitality, tourism, and office spaces. During events, it is possible to organize visits to the multimedia exhibition as well as outdoor activities, and it is also possible to enjoy other services offered by Učka Nature Park. The proximity of the Opatija Riviera provides access to various types of accommodation and the top-quality gastronomy of Kvarner and Istria, including traditional dishes served in a nearby restaurant.

The programmes are adapted to different ages – from preschool children to university students. The youngest learn about animals, plants, myths, and legends through games, workshops, and short educational walks. Primary school pupils join guided tours and do worksheets that teach them about ecosystems, orientation, and environmental protection. Older pupils and students participate in longer tours along educational and hiking trails, such as Stražica – Sapaćica, Vela draga, and Poklon – Vojak, which connect the natural and cultural values of Učka.


The programmes combine multimedia content, hands-on work, and time spent outdoors, encouraging active learning and the development of responsible attitudes towards the environment. Expert educators from the Učka Nature Park Public Institution tailor the content to the age and interests of participants, making each experience educational, engaging, and aimed at building a lasting bond with nature.

E-bikes allow even less experienced cyclists, families, and anyone seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation to enjoy a premium experience. Of course, it is important to ride responsibly, with respect for nature and according to personal limits.

In addition to classic souvenirs, the shop also offers useful educational materials such as hiking maps, guides through the values of Učka Nature Park and other publications. For children, there are picture books, educational games and fun materials that encourage learning about the flora and fauna of Učka.


The souvenir shop is therefore not just a point of sale, but an important part of the overall experience — a symbol of the connection between people and nature, where memories become lasting reminders of the beauty and harmony of Učka Nature Park.
