We can all agree that the island of Krk is wonderful during summertime, but what we still have to show you is that the island of Krk is just as beautiful during winter. Sunbathing, swimming and beaches are perfect for rest and therefore relaxation. But if you want a more active vacation, we recommend you one hiking or trekking on Croatia’s biggest island. While hiking, learn something about the history and how was the lifestyle of our ancestors. Give yourself time to become familiar with history – you won’t regret it. On Krk, it doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or professional-there is something for everyone. For instance, in the month of October, Baška is holding two interesting competitions:
Krk Island Trail-race that is spreading across spectacular Mjesečevo brdo (Moon’s hill) that offers quite a view for you to enjoy it. Suitable for beginners.
Krk Mountain Bike marathon – 40-kilometre long race that attracts both tourists and locals who are true adrenaline ‘junkies’. After the race, there is associated festivity (usually called ‘fešta’ by the locals)
On the island of Krk, there are more than 300 kilometres of signposted hiking trails with related maps (maps can be founded in every tourist office). There is a huge variety of trails: trails by the sea, ones that go through olive groves, trails next to the dry stone walls, educational trails… Whichever trail you choose, you will most certainly experience the natural beauty and diversity of our island of Krk.
