Hiking in Croatia

Croatia is a small but beautiful country. It's located in Central and Southeast Europe, on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The highest mountains in Croatia belong to the Dinarides range that is sometimes also called Dinaric Alps, of which Dinara, with peak at 1832 meters, is the highest. Croatian mountains do not exceed 2000 meters in height, but the variety of landscape is fascinating. Due to the low altitude, most of the peaks are accessible, making them practically ideal for hiking. 🔎 List of all Croatian mountains
