You can choose the morning or the afternoon version of the tour. The trail tends to be the most beautiful in the afternoon because of the low light, especially before sunset. Given that sun rising and the setting time change throughout the year, we choose the departure time depending on the season.
I arrange the departure time with each client/group individually. Contact me by e-mail or phone to arrange the details.
I will pick you up in front of your accommodation. There is a 1-hour drive to the start of the trail from Opatija (a 45-minute drive from Rijeka).
The trail takes approximately 5 hours, depending on the tempo, and includes breaks. It is necessary to dress adequately concerning the weather. Hiking shoes are strongly advised.
Throughout the trail, you will walk through the Mediterranean pine woods and rocky desert, move among the old dry stone walls, and, if you are lucky, witness the flight of majestic griffon vultures. There is a likelihood of encountering herds of sheep. You will enjoy great, open views (all the more as the sun sets) of the rolling rocky hills and valleys, the Adriatic Sea, and its islands.
A stable foot is needed because the terrain is uneven. We are moving at a leisurely, easy pace.
The attractive scenery of Baška Bay, the dramatic rocky landscapes, and the cliffs of the northern Adriatic is home to martens, sheep and wild rabbits, griffon vultures and other protected species.
The fastest is to call me on the phone, or you can send me an inquiry via the form below or e-mail.
We will discuss the details: place of departure, how long you want to stay outdoors, do you have any special (dietary, medical) requirements, etc.
After we set the details, you can make an international IBAN payment. I will provide you with the necessary account information. You can use international money transfer apps.
I intentionally omit an automatic booking system. I would like to hear from each client and agree on the details before booking and departure.
Dinner is not included in the price. Please understand that each guest will be paying for a meal and beverages of their choice.

Northern Velebit is a national park. It enjoys a high level of protection, which means that human interventions in that part of Croatia are small.
There, the people of today can experience Earth in its spotless form.
The national park area is wonderful for all visitors, from occasional walkers to regular hikers and trekkers.
The Northern Velebit National Park offers wonderful views, peace, and pleasant walks to various peaks in the Zavižan area, the starting point for some of Croatia’s most beautiful forest and mountain excursions.
ZAVIŽAN – PIVČEVAC:
This route takes us from the parking lot to the north side of the national park, into the forest and grassy valley. It can take anywhere from 2-4 hours, and if you have the will to extend your hiking, we can walk for another hour to Veliki Zavižan peak, from where you can see the northern Adriatic islands.
This half-day trip includes visiting the Zavižan mountain lodge for a drink and relax before returning to the hotel.
ZAVIŽAN – ROSSI’S HUT:
This route takes us to Rossi’s shelter, where, if necessary, a mountaineer can spend the night. Rossi’s shelter is a popular destination for mountaineers on weekends, where they enjoy socializing in awesome surroundings. A picnic there is a great idea. The path to Rossi’s shelter is one of Croatia’s most beautiful and famous hiking trails.
It was built by engineer Ante Premužić in the 1930s. He made the trail so that there were no elevations. It was intended for the elite who came for walks in the highlands. It passes through incredible natural karst stone formations, stone sculptures and gorges characteristic of the karst landscape.
It’s an out-and-back trip. We can include Veliki Zavižan peak in this excursion, which extends the walk by an hour and includes a steep ascent and a steep descent – but there is a guide to help you.
ZAVIŽAN – BOTANICAL GARDEN – VUČJAK:
This is the shortest route and, like all our trips, starts near the mountain lodge. The trail goes around the so-called botanical garden (in fact, it is an area where different plants have inscriptions with their names). It is a pleasant walk that passes through an amazing landscape, offering views over Adriatic islands and lush forests.
Say how many hours you want to spend in nature, and the guide will tailor a walk to your needs. The duration of this route can vary from a half-hour walk to a walk of two to three hours.
ZAVIŽAN – ALAN
Zavižan – Alan route passes through the entire National Park from Zavižan to the direction south. This is perhaps one of Croatia’s most beautiful hiking trails and leaves few people indifferent to the beauty surrounding hikers on their way to Alan. It takes 6-7 hours to walk to Alan. The vehicle will drop us off at Zavižan and pick us up at Alan. This is a full-day excursion.
This area has many trails, all of which pass through amazing landscapes and lead to the surrounding hills and peaks. You can see views of the northern Adriatic islands and forests leading to the south.
Zavižan is 1,594 meters above sea level, where you arrive by car. From there, we start on foot. Trips from Zavižan are mostly easy for regular hikers, and for beginners, they can be anything from demanding to easy.
Most of the trails require only average fitness and a desire to move.
We can take a simple and easy walk or a multi-hour hike. So you can choose a half-day or a full-day excursion, and the path we will choose depends on your fitness and excursion desire.
If you want to take a peek into this part of Croatia and if you want a guide, contact me by e-mail or phone, and I will organize everything necessary for you.

From the rugged coastline to the gritty hills, dry stone walls and charming villages, the island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage are sure to leave a lasting impression.
There is hardly a better place in the north Adriatic to explore historical roots and return to nature than Island Cres.
With 7 hours of the hike (including breaks), repeated ascents and descents, this trip requires reasonable fitness, walking endurance, and an adventurous spirit. The terrain is mainly rocky with some path, and exposure is mixed; direct sunlight with shade here and there.
We travel to the island and back by car and a ferry. Please feel free to contact me for details and the arrangement.

VISIT TO THE GRIFFON VULTURES CONVALESCENT AND THERAPY CENTRE:
On our way, there is a recovery station for griffon vultures. I am not guaranteeing that we will see vultures in the centre.
The centre deals with rescuing young vultures that fall into the sea from a cliff during their first attempt to fly, and caring for the adult, injured vultures.
Given that these are sporadic and unpredictable circumstances, I cannot guarantee that we will encounter these majestic animals in the centre.
We walk easy-tempo, rest regularly, and enjoy perfect solitude and individual/small group experience.
We set off on this tour early in the morning. That means getting out of bed very early.
At 06:45 am, we are already on the ferry, travelling to the starting destination: the village of Beli on the east coast of Cres.
We leave the car next to the griffon vulture recovery centre below the NW end of the ridge. My associate will drive us to the SW end of the ridge, where we will begin our walking adventure.
We continue on foot up the hill, following the path towards an abandoned weather station. Once we climb the ridge, we stay on the ridge to the trail’s end.
We will have beautiful views and witness the wild flora and fauna of the island of Cres. One of the most interesting elements we will have the opportunity to see is the flora that has adapted to the ruthless, harsh and brutal environment.
Wind gusts can reach 200 kilometres per hour here, and the trees are growing crooked to minimize the resistance against the gale.
After descending from the ridge to our destination, we will have lunch, rest, and have a short stroll around the beautiful village of Beli.
Drive back to the ferry and return home/ to your accommodation.
Yes you do. You can always travel without one, but I strongly recommend that you come with a travel insurance that covers a minimum medical, evacuation, and repatriation coverage, covering all applicable dates of your travel with Big Fat Boundless.
This insurance must cover personal injury and emergency medical expenses. You are strongly recommended to extend your coverage to include cancellation, curtailment, and all other expenses that may arise as a result of loss, damage, injury, delay, or inconvenience while traveling.
Most chances are you won’t need it, but in case you do, well, just make sure you have it!
The fastest is to call me on the phone, or you can send me an inquiry. We will discuss the details; place of departure, how long you want to stay outdoors, do you have any special (dietary, medical) requirements, etc.

The hike from Medveja Beach to the summit of Mount Učka, Vojak, is a popular trail in Croatia, known for its stunning views and diverse terrain.
The route is approximately 9 km long, covers 1400 meters of elevation and takes 5-6 hours to complete. The trail starts from the beach and heads towards the small village of Lovranska Draga, ascending further towards the Učka Mountain Nature Park.
The ideal time for the walk is from September to June, emphasizing spring and autumn.
Transport is waiting for us at the top of Učka, with which we will return to your accommodation. Optionally, after the tour, I can take you to the beach where we started this morning and where you can swim in the sea. After the beach, I can take you to dinner in one local tavern serving fine food.

Ascent from the sea side to the the alpine world
Remarkable views and hidden gems
*Swimming & beach time
*Dinner at the family tavern
*In agreement with the client. If you would like to swim in the sea after the hike, your guide will take you there. This prolongs the activity, but does not affect the price. During warmer days, people usually want to dive into the sea after the hike.
I will pick you up in front of your accommodation. We start the trail from Medveja Beach. I determine the departure time in agreement with the clients. In principle, the earlier we start, the better because the morning hours are often the most beautiful, as well as those final hours before sundown.
During the summer, it is often very hot during the day, so that is another reason why it is good to start as early as possible. We can start later in the winter, early spring and late autumn to catch the early evening hours and the sunset, as the days are shorter.
The initial part of the hike is a steady climb along a well-marked path that takes you through the forested area. As you climb higher, the terrain becomes rockier and steeper.
The ascent can be challenging, but it is also rewarding, as you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding islands.
The final stretch of the hike is the most challenging, as you will need to navigate a steep and rocky path that leads to the summit of Vojak, the highest peak in the Učka Mountain range, standing at 1,401 meters.
Once you reach the top, you will be rewarded with panoramic views of the Istrian peninsula, Kvarner Bay, and the nearby islands. During the clearest days, one can see the Venice and Julian Alps from the summit of Učka.
It is recommended to wear sturdy hiking shoes and bring plenty of water and snacks, as there are no facilities along the trail. Starting early in the morning is also advisable to avoid the midday heat.
Just below the summit is a small road, where a transport vehicle will wait for us to get you back to your accommodation. I will be your driver, so I can take you to the beach before you return to your accommodation, and I can also take you to one of the local taverns offering good food.
After such a hike, covering 1400 meters of elevation in one day, not only is it quite an achievement, but people usually want to sit down and have a beer and a proper meal.
Years of exploring Croatian landscapes have resulted in the Big Fat Boundless agency.
I take good care of you during the trip and know Croatia well: fine taverns, unspoilt gems, top trails and beaches.
I avoid crowds; I do off-season – pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds. I work primarily in small groups of up to eight people or less.
I am a reliable and dedicated mountain guide. I want you to get 100% value for your money with each tour booked.
The fastest is to call me on the phone, or you can send me an inquiry. We will discuss the details; place of departure, how long you want to stay outdoors, do you have any special (dietary, medical) requirements, etc.

I will pick you up in front of your accommodation. There’s a 20-minute drive towards the start of the trail from Opatija and a 40-minute drive from Rijeka.
We walk the trail at a leisurely pace. Along the way, we will stop at several locations, see the old settlements that nature is slowly taking back, and hear about their history.
It’s a beautiful and exciting place in the middle of the woods and reminiscent of ancient, bygone times.
From the village of Obrš, we will make a short break, enjoy the views and continue towards the village of Trebišća, one of the restored villages that look like from Slavic mythology tales.
The water runs through the village in the winter, spring and autumn.
From there, we’ll descend towards the Mošćenička Draga village.
You’ll start with an uphill climb in the hills above Medveja, which can be a great workout and can help you build stamina and endurance. This relatively short climb makes the rest of the hike easier, and you’ll feel accomplished after completing the trail.
During the hike, you will get hot and sweaty. By the time you reach the beach, the temperatures will likely have warmed up, making it the perfect spot to cool off and relax.
How long you will stay on the beach depends on our on-the-spot agreement. You have all the time you want.
After the beach, I can drive you to a tavern run by a family specialising in local food and delicacies.
After dinner, I will drive you back to your accommodation.

Join me as we explore Mount Učka!
Our hike starts in the village of Mala Učka, nestled at the foot of the mountain. From here, we begin our off-trail descent down a wooded slope.
As we exit onto the Bodaj pass, we’ll be greeted by the views of the Kvarner Bay and the Adriatic Sea. The path continues along the ridge of Učka, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscapes.
Along the way, we’ll also discover age-old, overgrown villages that have been long forgotten. The remnants of these settlements will give us a glimpse into the history and culture of this region.
The entire excursion will take about four to five hours, including breaks. It’s the perfect half-day activity for hikers of all levels, whether you’re an experienced trekker or just starting out.
For the best experience, I recommend taking this tour during the autumn, winter and off-season in general. The cool, crisp air will invigorate your senses and make the scenery even more stunning.
During the high summer, it’s best to embark on this tour before dawn or before sundown to avoid the sweltering heat. The colours during these times are lovely, making for a memorable experience.
So what are you waiting for? Strap on your hiking boots, grab your water bottle, and let’s go!

The hike takes place in the westernmost branch of the Dinarides mountain massif – a long stretch of rolling hills covered in yellow grass. Here the Dinaric massif ends. On the west, the Alps begin. Ćićarija (a broad area, one part of which is called Žbevnica) is full of somewhat dark and enigmatic qualities, and this detail makes it attractive.
