Planinarski dom Prpa
Vladimir Prpić - Prpa je bio planinarska legenda i dobri duh Velebita. Planinari su često govorili da nitko bolje ne poznaje Velebit bolje od Prpe, a on je kazao da ondje ima sve što mu treba: obilje hrane, ljekovito bilje, ogrijev i slobodu! Razumio je zmije, poštovao svaku biljklu i životinju, svaku škrapu i vrhove Velebita. Neki su ga smatrali čudakom kojemu nije stalo do novca i obilja. Svakim dahom živio je za prirodu, čije je tajne znao bolje od bilo koga, a njegovo je geslo bilo da je malo jedan život za Velebit.
Planinarski dom Prpa zapravo je naselje od nekoliko bungalova koje je na rubu oštarijskog polja osmislio, podigao i uredio vlastitim rukama. Svaki bungalov u naselju ima svoje ime, a dobilo ga je po vrhovima u okolici (Basača, Kiza...) i opremljen je i uređen na dosjetljiv način. Bungalovi su stalno otvoreni i pružaju mogućnost noćenja. Jedan je bungalov uređen kao kapelica Gospe od Velebita.

Vladimir Prpić - Prpa was a mountaineering legend and the good spirit of Velebit. Mountaineers often said that no one knows Velebit better than Prpa, and he said that he has everything he needs there: plenty of food, herbs, firewood and freedom! He understood snakes, respected every plant and animal, every scrap and peaks of Velebit. Some considered him a freak who didn’t care about money and abundance. With every breath he lived for nature, whose secrets he knew better than ever, and his motto was that life is a little for Velebit.
The Prpa mountain lodge is actually a settlement of several bungalows that he designed, built and arranged with his own hands on the edge of the Ostarije field. Each bungalow in the settlement has its own name, and it was named after the peaks in the area (Basača, Kiza ...) and it is equipped and decorated in a witty way. The bungalows are constantly open and provide overnight accommodation. One bungalow is arranged as the chapel of Our Lady of Velebit.
