This guide describes day walks and treks in all Croatia's main hiking areas and national parks on the mainland, from the forested hills around Zagreb, to the roof of Croatia on the Bosnian border, and the national parks of Northern Velebit, Paklenica, Risnjak, UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes and more.

A guidebook to 20 day walks and 7 short treks in the mountains and national parks of Croatia. Ranging from easy 2km strolls to strenuous hut-to-hut mountain treks, the routes showcase the diverse unspoilt landscapes, with highlights including UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes and Croatia’s highest summit, Dinara.

Covering the Zagreb region, Istria and the Opatija Riviera, Gorski Kotar, Velebit and Dalmatia, the day walks range from 2 to 21km (1–8 hours) and the treks from 16 to 75km (2–7 days).

Clear route description illustrated with 1:50,000 mapping
Refreshments and transport information for all routes, plus accommodation for the treks
