Description

Venture into the KRK, a beautiful island in the Adriatic sea. Unveil all the mysteries of this mesmerizing place in Croatia.

The KRK island is the largest one on the Adriatic sea. Its more than 409 square kilometers of wild and beautiful land make this a very unique and wonderful place to trek through. There are 68 settlements on this island, and only about 16,402 inhabitants.

One of the peaks we’ll visit is Obzova (560m) the highest in the island. We’ll also venture through Baška. Then we’ll head to the Vrženica canyon. This magnificent canyon goes through passages that start easy but become gradually more difficult, so a bit of free climbing will be necessary. But the hypnotizing views you’ll get will make it completely worth it!

We’ll also visit the island of Prvić. This charming place has an incredibly rich cultural heritage. Even the name of the island has an intriguing history. It is debatable whether it came from the Croatian god of spring, or the inhabitants named it like that. There are only two settlements here. And we’ll likely run into more animals than people. So walking through its old mediterranean streets made of stone, will only bring calm and peace as we’ll only hear the sounds of the ocean.

We’ll go from Baška to the highest part of the Krk island. Due to its rocky terrain and lack of vegetation, this area is also known as the moon hill. Then, we’ll go down to the Trigeta canyon. Here, we’ll need a climbing belt, helmet and technical equipment, as it gets more narrow the more we descend.

Please note you need a good fitness level for this trip. And you’ll require basic climbing knowledge. If you do so, and want to join this adventure, send me a request. It will be a wonderful trip you won’t forget!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
