Risnjak is a mountain in the Risnjak National Park, in Gorski Kotar, Croatia. It belongs to the Dinaric Alps mountain range.〔Naklada Naprijed, ''The Croatian Adriatic Tourist Guide'', pg. 84, Zagreb (1999), ISBN 953-178-097-8〕 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 (''Fagetum illyricum abietotosum'') which go up to 1240 m and then are replaced by sub-alpine beeches (''Fagetum croaticum subalpinum''). The highest vegetation is a belt of mountain pine (''Pinetum mughi croaticum''). 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'' (lynx).〔 The highest peak of Risnjak mountain is "Risnjak" or ''Veliki Risnjak'' at 1528 m.a.s.l. (the latter name means "Big Risnjak"), and it is also the highest peak in the Risnjak National Park, and the second in Gorski kotar next to Bjelolasica. On its southern slope is located the mountain lodge called ''Šloserov dom'', built by Josip Schlosser. The peak can be reached only on foot, from Crni Lug (3 h) or from an unpaved road beginning in Gornje Jelenje (1 h). The highest peaks of Risnjak mountain are: Veliki Risnjak (1528 m), Snježnik (1506 m),〔http://www.risnjak.hr/enu.php〕 Sjeverni Mali Risnjak (1434 m) and Južni Mali Risnjak (1448 m). ==See also== * Risnjak National Park * List of mountains in Croatia 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Risnjak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
