Top Trekking & Hiking Spots in Croatia

Definitely wear good walking shoes! I wore sandals and regretted it big time. The paths can get slippery, especially around the waterfalls.

I suggest starting your hike early, around 7 AM, to avoid the heat and the crowds, plus the views in the morning light are stunning!

I recommend taking the trail starting at the top parking lot. It’s more scenic and less crowded than the more popular paths. The views are absolutely worth it!

Bring plenty of water and snacks. The hike can be tougher than it looks, especially in the heat. I ran out of water halfway, and it was a rough experience! Trust me; you don’t wanna make that mistake.

Check the weather before you head out. I went on a day that looked fine but suddenly turned cloudy, which wasn’t great for the hike or the views. Sunblock is also key, even if it seems cloudy!

If you plan on driving up, check the gas station prices in the nearby town first, because they're WAY cheaper there than at the mountain. I ended up spending more than I wanted on fuel!

I suggest wearing good hiking boots; the trails can get pretty rocky and slippery. I wore sneakers and regretted it halfway through – my feet were killing me!

i recommend starting your hike by 7 am to avoid the crowds and catch the sunrise; the views are absolutely breathtaking! trust me, it's worth the early wake-up call.

My advice is to bring plenty of snacks and water. There are very few places to refill, and I ended up wishing I had packed more to keep my energy up during the hike

If you can, get a good map or download a hiking app before you go. Some trails aren't well-marked and it can save you a lot of time

For a cheaper experience, consider bringing your own snacks and water instead of buying from local cafes. I spent way too much on drinks last time!

I suggest starting your hike around 8 AM. You'll beat the heat and the crowds, plus the early morning views are stunning. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.
