This guidebook contains detailed route descriptions for 19 day walks and 7 multi-day treks in Croatia's Dinaric Alps and the Croatian islands. The routes are both circular and point-to-point treks, and vary from 3km easy strolls to strenuous multi-day hut-to-hut mountain treks. The terrain varies from gently sloping hills to rugged tops and limestone crags. Each route is graded by difficulty which ranges from very easy to difficult so there is a route to suit every ability. The guide includes detailed background information, with sections on history, culture, wildlife, accommodation and planning information, including a directory of the mountain huts and their facilities. The walks are covered in eight main sections: around Zagreb, in Slovania, and Istira, Walks in the coastal ranges or Dinaric Alps, in Velebit, in Plitvicka jezera and Krka, Walks in Mosor, Kozjack and Biokovo and on the Croatian islands.
