With our climbing trip to Croatia we visit one of the most beautiful regions on the Mediterranean. Istria and Dalmatia are not only extremely exciting and interesting to visit from a historical and cultural point of view, but also for climbers everything is available for an unforgettable holiday. The climbing gardens with single and multi-pitch routes are numerous, the routes are modern and equipped with solid pitons and the nature and unique landscape will inspire us.

Sunday: Visit to the climbing garden on the Muntrav peninsula. After climbing we visit the beautiful town of Rovinj.
Monday: Visit to the climbing gardens on the Limski Canal. In the late afternoon drive to Paklenica. Overnight stay in the beautiful country house Varoš.
