Network of hiking trails on Krk 

300. That's the number of kilometres of marked hiking trails on the island. They vary in length, level of difficulty, elevation profile, path type and attractions along the way.

One of the best ways to get to know the entire island is to take the circular route called Camino Krk. It takes 7 days with roughly 20 km of walking every day to come full circle. Still, you can always just pick a stage and enjoy a part of it, since it leads through towns such as Krk, Malinska, Omišalj, Dobrinj, Vrbnik and Baška. In the area of Dobrinj you can also embark on a one-day circular trail called the Paths of Dobrinjština, with a start in Šilo.

Hiking in Krk can also give you an insight into the heritage of the island. Some of the most popular educational trails include: Baška Glagolitic Trail in the southeast, Path of the Puddles (Cro. Put lokvi) from the village of Milohnići in the west, or the trail near Malinska about the hard life of farmers over history.
