Croatia

Further south, the islands and coastal cities are just as inviting. The island of Krk, as well as Dubrovnik, Split and Zadar, combine Mediterranean flair with countless opportunities for hiking and cycling along the sea. Scenic paths and quiet side roads make it easy to discover bays, viewpoints and traditional villages on foot or by bike.

Inland, Croatia reveals a completely different character. Beautiful hiking trails lead through Plitvice Lakes National Park, where wooden walkways guide visitors past turquoise lakes and waterfalls. In the Velebit Mountains, fascinating karst landscapes, deep forests and rocky ridges can be explored on foot, offering everything from leisurely walks to demanding mountain tours. Mountaineers and experienced hikers will find plenty of challenge and reward in the Dinaric Mountains.

Whether you prefer coastal routes with a fresh sea breeze, island trails with wide views, or wild mountain terrain far from the crowds, Croatia offers a dense network of paths and routes that invite you to keep exploring.
