More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a narrow track and the beech forest closes around you—tall trunks throwing long shadows while the trail pitches upward. The first section earns its name quickly: a steady 300‑metre ascent that opens, at Babina Glava, onto a startling view of the Adriatic, islands and riveted coastline folding into the horizon.

Tackle the first climb early
The first 300 m of ascent is the most demanding—start early when it's cooler and wind is lighter.
Sturdy footwear matters
Roots and limestone slabs make traction important; choose boots with firm ankle support and good tread.
Bring at least 1.5–2 L of water
There’s little reliable water on the route; hydrate before you go and carry replenishment.
Trust the guide for navigation
Trails can be indistinct in the beech forest—stay with your licensed guide who knows local routes and microclimates.
Hiking boots
Provide ankle support and grip on rocky, rooty trails.
Water reservoir or bottles (1.5–2 L)
Keep hydrated during the 4‑hour circuit with limited refill options.
Light waterproof jacket
Protects from wind and sudden showers on exposed ridge sections.
