Croatia: RIVER, MOUNTAIN, ISLAND
This 8 day adventure tour takes you from the rivers of Gorski Kotar, through the mountain of Grobnic Alps, to the beautiful island of Cres. The tour starts in Zagreb, where we meet with our driver and head to the two unparalleled natural phenomena – Green spring and Devil’s passage created by rapid watercourses which carved canyons in carbonate rocks. After an easy day of hiking, we enjoy adventurous day of rafting on the river Kupa. Release the stress and fill your body and mind with wild and untamed energy of the river. Next we head to Učka mountain for a day of hiking to the tower on the highest peak of Učka mountain where we will get an amazing sight of the Istrian peninsula, Kvarner bay with islands, mountains of Gorski kotar, Alps, Velebit and on a clear day, Italy. The next 3 days we will spend on the stunning island of Cres. Cres is full of small villages, surrounded by small bays, the clean sea and beautiful beaches. Here we will hike to the peak St. Mikula and have a day off so you can experience the island on your own. We finish this tour with a day of cycling and taking pictures of the breathtaking landscapes. The last day we pack our things and head back to Zagreb.
