Welcome to the island of Krk! Your journey begins in the historic town of Krk, easily accessible via Rijeka Airport or the Krk Bridge. After arrival, take time to settle in, explore the old town with its narrow alleys and Roman walls, or enjoy a stroll along the harbour promenade. This is the perfect chance to relax before your trek starts tomorrow.

Krk - Brzac

Duration: 06:35 h

Distance: 23.5 km

Ascent: 520 m

Descent: 400 m

As you leave the harbour area of the historic town of Krk, turn around to enjoy one last view of the sweeping bay. The trail then leads to Lokva Rževa and its small pond, home to lilies and turtles, before continuing towards the Romanesque ruins and the Chapel of Saint Anastasia. At the junction near the Bribir ruins, turn right to visit the Kastel Salatić site. This marks the start of the day's steepest ascent, which takes you past the village of Vrh and up to the highest point (230 m).

The path then descends towards a beautiful lavender field and the Jura farmhouse of Novak Srezic, surrounded by nature. The rest of the route features a mix of rolling terrain and scenic coastal tracks. Later on, you will walk through olive groves and along a forest trail framed by stone walls and offering sea views. After passing through the village of Skrbčići, turn right at around 17.5 km to pass the Polića ruins. The path narrows by the stone wall as you near the sea.

You will soon catch your first glimpse of Plomin Luka harbour and the Bay of Uvala Vela Jana. From there, the trail climbs slightly again, offering views of the lake along a scenic route. As you turn inland towards Brzac, you can enjoy panoramic views of Linardići. Once you reach Brzac, why not treat yourself to a swim at Glavotok Beach to round off your day?

Brzac - Malinska

Duration: 05:55 h

Distance: 21.5 km

Ascent: 300 m

Descent: 420 m

Early on in the route, you will cross an idyllic meadow before walking along a scenic, stone-walled path and past ruined buildings nestled amongst the trees. Keep an eye out for the 11th-century Church of St Krševan, tucked away in the forest and still visited by pilgrims today. After passing a small car park, you will descend along a forest trail.

At around kilometer 6, turn right onto a path lined with oak trees, including the legendary Ancient Oak of Čavlena. This 400-year-old, 20-metre-tall tree is one of the oldest living things on the island and a true natural monument. A few steps further on, you will find another impressive oak beside the tranquil Krške Lokve pond. From there, take the left fork to head back towards the coast. This section offers access to several secluded, rocky beaches, perfect for swimming! Along the way, enjoy wide-open views of Cres Island.

Further along, you will reach the Fumak Cross, where you will leave the shoreline for a quicker inland route towards Porat. Here, you can visit the Church and Monastery of St Mary Magdalene, or take a swim at the local beach, before tackling the final section, which loops south in a wide U-shape — making it the easiest part of the day! You will pass an old cemetery and walk through shaded oak woods, passing places such as Sabljići and Sveti Anton. Once you reach a nice sea view, Malinska is almost within reach!

Malinska - Omišalj

Duration: 05:00 h

Distance: 18.5 km

Ascent: 220 m

Descent: 150 m

Today's stage is mostly flat and runs almost entirely alongside the sea, following the north-west coast of the island. Start your day at the Malinska marina promenade, home to the Bronze Octopus Sculpture. Continue north to pass several abandoned seaside hotels, including the ruins of the former Haludovo Hotel complex near Grota Beach.

After reaching the small lighthouse near the Ribarsko Selo marina, enter the scenic Paradise Road (Rajska Cesta). This coastal trail is dotted with benches where you can rest and enjoy the sea views. The turquoise waters of Rejska Cesta Bay are perfect for cooling off during your hike! Eventually, leave the main promenade and veer right onto a quieter path that still hugs the coast.

As you approach Rosulje, you will see more beaches and the village of Draga, home to the Fisherman Statue. Continue past the Aminess Camping Resort and some outdoor fitness stations towards the sea. After nearly 2 km, you will reach another scenic swimming cove, with the option of walking along the rugged shoreline or taking a shaded rest spot in the forest. Take the right-hand fork to pass by the ruins of the Mohorov archaeological site. After a short detour inland to bypass an industrial area, you will arrive in Omišalj. Enjoy!
