Hiking

A region of beech and fir forests and karst mountain peaks, Risnjak National Park occupies some of the most untouched landscapes in the country. So verdant is this land that it's often referred to as 'the green heart of Croatia.' As well as prominent peaks to conquer, there's plenty of wildlife to discover too, from chamois and pine marten to wolves, bears and lynx.

Bear in mind there's a small entrance fee, which gives you access to the national park for two days.

Hiking

Place of bursting nature, dense forests, woods and green clearings. Among the many easy marked trails you can walk for hours without meeting anyone and the silence is total. The easy climb to the Schlosser refuge in a meadow below the Risnjak peak is very beautiful, but it is not always open, better ask before departure.
