Risnjak is a mountain in the Risnjak National Park, in Gorski Kotar, Croatia. It belongs to the Dinaric Alps mountain range.[1] 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).[1]
The highest peak of Risnjak mountain is "Risnjak" or Veliki Risnjak at 1528 m.a.s.l.[2] (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), Sjeverni Mali Risnjak (1434 m) and Južni Mali Risnjak (1448 m).

[de] Veliki Risnjak
Der 1528 m hohe Veliki Risnjak (Große Risnjak) ist die höchste Erhebung im Nationalpark Risnjak in der kroatischen Landschaft Gorski Kotar in der Gespanschaft Primorje-Gorski kotar nordöstlich von Rijeka im nördlichen Teil des Dinarischen Gebirges. Nach der 1534 m hohen Bjelolasica in der Velika Kapela ist er die höchste Erhebung in der Gespanschaft, wird aber von dem bereits in Slowenien gelegenen Krainer Schneeberg deutlich überragt. Der Name wird von der kroatischen Bezeichnung für den Luchs, ris, abgeleitet.- [en] Risnjak

Il Risnjak (1.528 m s.l.m.) è una montagna croata situata nell'omonimo parco nazionale, nell'altopiano del Gorski Kotar.[1] Appartiene alla catena montuosa delle Alpi Dinariche. Il nome del massiccio deriva probabilmente da "ris", la parola croata per lince. Un'altra interpretazione suggerisce che possa provenire dalla parola locale "risje", un tipo di erba.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
