Croatia Mountain Trek

Key Details

 About The Event 

This is an Open Challenge so not everyone on the trip will be taking part for the bpf and may be fundraising for other great causes. 

The Istria Peninsula in northern Croatia is relatively unknown, a hidden gem which feels a world away from the well-touristed Adriatic coast to the south.  

With spectacular, diverse scenery of lush green forested hills and limestone mountain peaks, vineyards and olive groves, meandering rivers, untouched stone villages and medieval hilltop towns, the region offers rich rewards for those who like to trek away from the crowds.  

Following the Istria Mountain Trail across the peninsula, we trek from the wooded hills around Buzeteast into Učka National Park, where we crest three mountain peaks, culminating in fabulous views over the entire region from the rocky summit of Mount Učka. 

“Another great challenge, which is to be expected from Discover Adventure. I met some great people, and our local guide ‘H’ made sure we were all okay, and even persuaded me to climb the last mountain Učka which I am please I did! Overall, a great adventure in beautiful surroundings.” –Des 

“I would 100% recommend Discover Adventure. I was a little nervous before I did the challenge, but the guides put me at ease as soon as I arrived, and I feel I’ve made friends for life through this experience.” – Sam
