Klek is a pronounced mountain on the edge of Velika Kapela, above the town of Ogulin. This is one of the most attractive and the most popular hiking destinations in Croatia. Its ridge with steep sides is 3 to 4 kilometers long, with a rocky head 200 meters high on the top. According to folk legend, the peak of Klek is a meeting point of witches in stormy nights, so they became a symbol of sorts of Klek and Ogulin. The rock of Klek below the peak served as the first training site of Croatian alpinists, with many rock climbing endeavors done there. Hikers visiting the peak area should avoid coming close to the edge of the rock, since that can be deadly.

 View: The peak offers wonderful views of Ogulin, the lake of Sabljaci and Bjelolasica. Picturesque rocks of Klečice are a particularly intriguing site that can be seen from the peak.

Seal: Metal seal is located on the peak. The seal stamped in the moun

Directions

Approaches:
  • Bjelsko – mountain lodge Klek – peak Klek 1.20 h
  • Ogulin – Kneja – mountain lodge Klek – peak Klek 3.30 h
  • Jasenak – Musulinski Potok – Bjelsko – mountain lodge Klek – peak Klek 5.30 h
  • Hreljin Ogulinski – Vitunj – peak Klek 5.30 h

Traditional approach is from the village of Bjelsko on the Ogulin – Jasenak road. This approach is rather steep, but also the shortest. After 50 minutes of climbing through the forest, we reach the mountain lodge Klek below the peak rock. Climb from the lodge to the peak takes 30 minutes; hikers occasionally need to use their hands during the climb (wire cables are installed to secure the passage). A climb to the peak during rainy weather or with snow on the ground can be very dangerous.
