Book description
Second edition of this mountain walking and trekking guide to Croatia,
Europe with walks in the Dinaric Alps (Gorski Kotar and Velebit),
Istria, Slavonia, the islands (Pelje?ac, Korcula, Mljet, Hvar, Brac,
Lo?inj and Cres) and around Zagreb. Revised and enlarged to include
several new routes, it now describes 26 routes from easy day walks to
treks and via ferrata over varied terrain. Better known for its sunny
beaches and unspoilt coastline, Croatia's beautifully rugged uplands
remain largely unseen by most visitors, despite their proximity to the
coast. Routes range from easy to challenging, and cover a variety of
terrains from rocky peaks and wooded hills to seawater lakes and
travertine falls. Written by an author who has lived in Zagreb and has
been visiting Croatia since the late 1990s, this guide includes detailed
background information, with sections on history, culture, wildlife,
accommodation and planning information, including a directory of the
mountain huts and their facilities. Rudolf Abraham is an award-winning
writer and photographer whose love of travel and remote places has taken
him from the Balkans to eastern Turkey, Central Asia and Patagonia. He
first visited Croatia in 1998, lived in Zagreb from 1999-2001, and still
make several trips a year to his favourite country in Europe. His other
books include 'The Mountains of Montenegro', also published by Cicerone.
