POLKON TO THE PEAK

Start at Poklon Pass (922 m)—easily reachable by car from Ičići (12 km) or bus line 34 from Opatija (Sundays only)—and wind your way up to Vojak, the park’s highest point at 1,396 meters. The climb takes about 90 minutes, and the reward is a jaw-dropping panorama from a stone tower lookout. On clear days, you can see Kvarner Bay, Istria, and far across the sea. This is the “wow” moment your camera roll’s been waiting for.

LOVRAN TO VOJAK

For serious leg-stretchers, this 4.5-hour trail from Lovran’s Tourist Office is a full-on nature adventure. Meander through the villages of Liganj, Dindići, Ivulići, and scenic spots like Kaluža and Oplovac. Catch your breath with village views and forest paths before climbing the final ridge to the summit. This route is all about the journey—and the epic view at the end.

THROUGH THE WILD WOODS

Start in Medveja, about 100 meters before the campsite entrance, and trek through vineyard valleys, whispering fir forests, and rocky karst terrain. This 5.5-hour hike leads through Lovranska Draga and continues uphill to Mala Učka before reaching Vojak. It’s a little wilder, a little more remote, and a whole lot of fun for the trail-hungry.

A VILLAGE IN THE SKY

Mala Učka, the highest village in Istria, sits at 995 meters and offers a rustic slice of mountain life. Once known for its sheep’s milk cheese, today it’s home to just a few weekenders and one remaining family of shepherds. Ideal for wanderers and weekend explorers looking to stroll instead of scale.

MOUNTAIN BIKING, ANYONE?

Prefer wheels to boots? Hop on a mountain bike and tackle the 27-km loop from Marović (above Tuliševica) to Poklon Pass. This forest road ride includes a 450 m elevation gain, winds past Grnjac Summit (850 m), rolls through Mala and Vela Učka, and offers panoramic plateaus, pine trails, and wild beauty around every bend.

MORE THAN JUST MOUNTAINS

Already reached your peak? Don’t miss Opatija’s other outdoor hits—sea cruises, seasonal festivals, and much easier climbs are just waiting for your next adventure.
