Description
Croatia’s mountains and national parks on foot.
Behind the long Adriatic coastline lies a varied hiking landscape of forests, limestone mountains, and deep gorges. Walks and Treks in Croatia helps you see the connections between these areas. You can plan individual walking days during a holiday or use the book as the basis for a trip centred on hiking.
From Zagreb to Velebit and the southern coast.
The guide covers the main hiking areas on mainland Croatia, including Gorski Kotar, Velebit, Paklenica, and the southern coastal mountains. The selection includes both short walks and longer treks and mountain traverses. Maps and descriptions make it easier to find areas suited to your hiking style and travel companions.
Natural highlights and practical trip planning.
The Plitvice Lakes, the waterfalls of Krka, the Premužić Trail, and the mountain landscape of Biokovo are among the highlights featured in the book. Practical information helps you assess access, accommodation, and connections between the different areas. Bases such as Zagreb, Rijeka, Starigrad-Paklenica, and Split allow for very different types of walking days.
Who is this book suitable for?
The book is suitable for experienced hikers wanting a broad selection of Croatian hiking destinations. Some routes are short and easy, while longer mountain treks require more experience and planning. Summer is suitable for higher areas, while spring and autumn often work better in the southern coastal mountains. Heat and access to water should be factored into your trip planning.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain people who wanted to share detailed knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterises these compact books for hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
