Top 5 Croatia Hiking Highlights

1. Paklenica National Park
Paklenica National Park, located in the heart of the Velebit mountain range, is renowned for its rugged karst terrain, deep canyons, and diverse flora and fauna. Home to the impressive Velika and Mala Paklenica canyons, the park offers a paradise for hikers and nature enthusiasts alike, with a network of trails leading to stunning viewpoints, hidden caves, and cascading waterfalls.

    2. Vidova Gora
    Vidova Gora is the highest peak on the island of Brač and one of the most iconic landmarks in Croatia, offering panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and neighboring islands. Standing at 2,559 feet above sea level, it provides hikers with a challenging yet rewarding ascent through pine forests and rocky terrain. At the summit, you’ll be treated to breathtaking vistas that stretch from the Dalmatian coastline to distant horizons.

      3. Dubrovnik
      Dubrovnik, often referred to as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” is a picturesque coastal city renowned for its well-preserved medieval walls, historic old town, and stunning seaside setting. The fine religious buildings surrounded by heavily fortified walls and the jumble of red-tiled roofs make this a truly enchanting place.

        4. Krka National Park
        Krka National Park is a stunning natural oasis in Croatia, known for its series of cascading waterfalls, crystal-clear pools, and lush greenery. Hike the wooden boardwalks that wind through the park for up-close views of the waterfalls and access to swimming areas. It’s also a fantastic spot for wildlife – an important sanctuary with several endemic species, some now extinct elsewhere in Europe.

          5. Split
          Split is the vibrant second biggest city in Croatia. The old center is compact and easily explored on foot; many make a beeline to the best-known attraction, Diocletian’s Palace. The town as a whole is a lively and friendly place with a cafe culture. Stop, have a coffee and soak up the atmosphere.
