Drazen's Yet Another Mountaineering guide (YAMG)

• The YAMG pages contain some useful information for people who want to visit mountaineering destinations in Croatia and surrounding areas. The information is not given in a structured manner but like a catalogue of ideas for trips with additional data.
• I got the idea for this guide when I came across a line of cars (mostly from Italy and France) with very confused drivers. They were driving on the bad gravel road that was shown in their maps as an asphalted one (even today, Jun 2008, the same situation occurs in Google Maps!). These people were in the heart of a highly protected reserve "Bijele i Samarske stijene" (White and Saddle Rocks) but they were not aware of the beauties and adventures available within only about an hour walk off the road..

Traditional summer trips - "Velebits"

Every year in summer, we organize trips to the mountains along the Croatian cost. Most often it's Mt. Velebit (see Velebit, Natural Park). These trips always include a welcome party, a whole day hiking trip and sea bathing. The groups usually consist of about 20 people of various nationalities. The accommodation is organised in mountain huts.
