This year’s Rocky Hill Hike Tour takes you along the eastern Baška ridge, into the heart of Baška’s rugged and fascinating landscape – from Zakam, across the Moon Plateau, Diviška and Hlam, and back towards Baška. Covering 14.5 kilometres and guided by Anakin Adventures, the hike offers a completely different perspective of Baška.
Through the fragrant pine forest, the trail leads to Zakam, where the first spectacular views open up towards Baška, the sea, the Church of St. John and the islet of Prvić. After climbing towards the ridge, the route reaches the Moon Plateau, where bare rock and karst create an almost otherworldly landscape, giving this place its distinctive name.
The trail continues across the plateau towards Diviška (471 m), with the landscape becoming increasingly rugged. Rocks, dry-stone walls and old shepherds’ paths reveal one of the most distinctive landscapes of the island of Krk. A break will be taken at Lokva Diviška, one of the highlights of the route. Surrounded by characteristic shepherds’ walls that once divided the pond into five sections for watering sheep, Lokva Diviška remains a remarkable testimony to traditional pastoral life and livestock farming in the area. With a little luck, you may also spot griffon vultures soaring above the ridge from the nearby Kuntrep Ornithological Reserve.
Along the way, we will discover other traces of the life that has existed here for centuries – dry-stone walls, ponds and mrgari, unique stone structures that reflect the tradition of communal pastures and sheep farming. The route then continues across the rocky landscape, passing the Kalić pond and leading towards the summit of Hlam (461 m). The summit is marked by a stone pyramid topped with a small aluminium cross, offering views of the surrounding peaks, the western ridge of the Baška Valley and the sparse pastures where flocks of sheep can still be found.
The return to Baška follows the “Put ka Mjesecu” trail through pine forest and rocky terrain, with new panoramic views of the Baška Valley and the sea.
A route that brings together the rugged beauty of Baška’s karst landscape, traces of traditional pastoral life and unforgettable panoramic views.
