  • 1
    Opatija

    Welcome! Upon arrival, check-in at a 4-star hotel situated in Opatija, free time to freshen up and get ready for the days ahead. Walking through Opatija is a „wellness experience“ by itself. The fresh air filled with the gentle taste of aerosol rich in iodine and sea salt is the perfect recipe for health, and it was recognized 130 years ago when Opatija received the title of a royal sanatorium. Walking along the boardwalk Lungomare the entire wellness experience is enhanced with a view of the bay and the sea waves crashing on the rocks on one side and the Art-deco villas built by famous Viennese architects on the other. Start from Slatina toward Volosko and get to know many of the highlights of Opatija.

    Ucka Nature Park

    You will be on the trail no later than 9:00 a.m. The trail starts at Poklon (922 m). The route will lead through forest and meadows until reaching a 1,012 m high hilltop sloping down into the sea. On the way to this point (Babin grob), you will pass through the beautiful landscape of Učka Nature Park. On the hilltop, gaze at the rich opening before you and have some rest. From Babin Grob, you will take a trail descending via east slope of Učka down to Medveja, a strip of coast with a beautiful beach. A definite highlight is to enter the sea right after the hike. If you consider yourself a die-hard outdoorsman, you can swim in the sea in the wintertime as well. It is a vigorous experience!
