Spring activities on the island of Krk
The spring will be here in about a week’s time and will last until June 21st. Besides from the arrival of warmer weather, the days will get longer. Is there a more beautiful time of the year than spring when the nature awakens? The flowers are springing, the tree-tops are blooming, the fragrant flowers are attracting the butterflies and ladybugs, and the birds singing can be heard each step of the way. We too could not have waited any longer for nicer weather so we can do some activities in the open. In continuation, see what you can do on the island of Krk this spring.
Enjoying on two wheels
The spring is the ideal time for cyclists, both professionals and amateurs. You can get to know the cycling tracks via KRK BIKe
mobile app containing cycling routes search engine, GPS navigation, information on tourist info points, the weather, emergency contacts and electrical vehicle charging points. Prepare your bicycles to be all set for the next season, because we are certain you will cross a lot of miles.
One weekend in April and May should be reserved for the three-day bicycle stories Krk Bike Story, and from April 21st -25th, the Mitas 4 Islands MTB takes place, a mountain biking race on the islands of Kvarner.
Hiking
We have already said a little more on hiking trails in our previous blog. Long story short, there are over 300km of well maintained and marked hiking trails. You can choose between educational, circular or guided tours or peak conquering. The pleasant spring temperature is ideal for any form of hiking. You can read the “Get activated- hiking trails on the island of Krk” blog by clicking on the link.
From April 17th-19th, the “Hikamo” guided hike takes place, with a purpose of getting to know the northern part of the island of Krk.
April 25th we will be running a 10 kilometres long race called “Omišalj 10k”.
Climbing
If you like climbs, we suggest the trails leading to the peaks of the island of Krk, such as Veli Vrh (541m) and Obzova (568m). Although the hiking trails are marked, don’t forget to take a map to make the hike easier on yourself. Wear firm footwear and adjust the wardrobe to the weather conditions. Also, bring plenty of fluid, food and other supplies you might use in an unpredictable event.
April 24th-26th, the B2B trail will take place, taking you to some of the most impressive climbing trails in Croatia.
The coast without too much crowd and a whole bunch of tourists, as well as half-empty beaches are only a few reasons to choose Krk for your spring vacation. Still, swimming in the sea will have to wait a while, unless you are brave enough.
