Rising suddenly beyond its narrow ribbon of coastal cities and rocky beaches, Croatia's mountains have much to commend them as a walking destination. They range from gently sloping forested hills to rugged tops and limestone crags, and reach their most spectacular in the massifs, collectively known as the Dinaric Alps, a wilderness of great grandeur, rich in wildlife and plants. The routes in this guide cover all the main hiking areas in Croatia, from the Dinaric Alps along the coast to areas further inland. Catering for a range of abilities, they range from easy day trips on islands in the Adriatic to extended itineraries across jagged mountain chains. The book also contains generous background information, including sections on history and language, and details of mountain huts and shelters. New material for this second edition includes a new section on the islands, including routes on Hvar, Mljet, Rab and Cres; 5 new day walks in other areas; an ascent of Dinara (Croatia's highest mountain); and, information on mountain biking in Croatia.
