Mt Velebit - trips

Hits: 2630

Route: Mt. Lodge Zavižan - Ciganište - Mt Hut Alan - Premužić Mountain Trail - Mt. Lodge Zavižan

Starting and destination point: Mt. Lodge Zavižan (1594 m)

Duration: two days ( 9 + 7 hours of walking)

Difficulty: Medium difficult marked trail (see the notes and altitude profile)

Tagline: The HPD Zrin Summer Camp 2015 main trip. Very nice trip despite of the giving up of a few hikers including the guide, extreme hotness for this region and a demanding trail. Probably the best moment of the trip was the welcome in the form of the cold beer, brought by our colleagues at the end of the route, after 12 hours of walking

Travel Notes:

  • As Ante from Zavižan said.. "What are we guilty for of walking this trail " (The North Velebit Seaside Terrace trail) at his hotness? Regardless of these words it was nice but difficult, Last time, it was only two degrees Celsius, winding and rainy (despite of the 1st day of the summer) and I wanted to experience this trail under better conditions. The rest of the team was 1st time there.

Notes:

  • The difficulty of the trail is defined by its length (about 20 km), karst terrain and huge altitude difference (a lot of ascents and descends - see the altitude profile) and the missing of any shelter and drinking water along the route.
  • The trail is well signed.
