Krneza is located in the northern part of the Zadar region, close to the coastal villages of Ljubač and Ražanac. The village is built on a gentle slope, offering expansive views over the karst plains towards the Velebit Channel. The area is rich in archaeological sites, most notably on the 'Gradina' hill, which contains remains of Liburnian and Roman fortifications. The architecture in Krneza is traditionally Dalmatian, featuring houses made from local stone that blend seamlessly into the rugged landscape. For generations, residents have relied on sheep farming and viticulture, with the quality of regional wine being highly regarded. The proximity to Ljubač Bay, known for its shallow sandy beaches, makes Krneza a great spot for those seeking peace while remaining just minutes away from the sea. Walking through the surrounding macchia shrubland provides insights into the typical flora and fauna of the area. Krneza maintains an original way of life, well away from major tourist crowds.
