Walks and Treks in Croatia

This guide describes 27 walks and short treks in Croatia. Around half the routes focus on the striking limestone ranges of Gorski kotar and Velebit, which form part of the Dinaric Alps, but there are also routes in Dalmatia and on the Istrian peninsula, as well as four day-walks centred around the capital, Zagreb. Since the restoration of political stability at the beginning of the century, Croatia has quickly emerged as one of the most popular destinations in the eastern Mediterranean, and in recent years, visitors are increasingly venturing away from the honeypots of Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Coast to explore the country's mountainous interior, which is easily accessible from the coastal resorts and main cities such as Zagreb, Rijeka and Split. Showcasing the breathtaking scenery of Croatia's national parks and nature parks, the routes range from short, easy walks to more challenging treks and mountain traverses. Step-by-step route description is accompanied by clear mapping, and there are notes highlighting where refreshments and accommodation are available on or near the trails.
