About the trail
Explore the beauty of Zavižan on a 5 km loop trail that takes you to 4 breathtaking peaks: Vučjak, Velika Kosa, Balinovac and Veliki Zavižan. Along the way, you’ll gain 400 meters in elevation and be rewarded with stunning views of the Adriatic Sea and diverse landscapes. After reaching the summit of Veliki Zavižan, we’ll head back to Zavižan Hut, where you can relax with a drink. One of the best aspects of the trail is that you’re never far from Zavižan hut. You can easily return there at any point during the tour and wait for the rest of the group to finish.
