Camino Krk

We went to Krk as a family to get to know it a bit differently. For starters we walked the first three stages, the rest will follow, more info on the whole path at Camino Krk.nasmeh
For our whole path I can say it's nicely marked and runs on asphalt, gravel and forest paths with minor ascents and descents. First overnight was a bit off the path in the village Linardići, but the heated pool outweighed that extra kilometer ascent and then second day descent back to the trail, which we intentionally stuck to all three days, although shortcuts are possible, just why walk Camino Krk then.jezik
All other three overnights we had in Malinska, so after three days of walking we enjoyed a bit more and of course we'll return, since four interesting stages await us.mežikanje

bos,

thanks for the great contribution from my birth island. I personally know the author of the driftwood sculpture from picture 25. nasmeh

Although my home has been elsewhere for a long time, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I prefer mountains to the sea (especially in summer crowds), my heart still beats happily.

Last week my husband and I walked Camino Krk. Wonderful experience! The island of Krk offers plenty of diverse paths and places, flat walking and real hill climbing. Spring time is pleasant for walking, lots of flowers, and the sea even allows short refreshments.

We started in Krk town, parked the car at the large parking lot in front of Konzum and stayed 6 nights at the following locations: Linardići - Malinska - Omišalj - Soline - Vrbnik - Baška. We booked accommodations one day in advance via booking and all were excellent.

The backpack was quite heavy, between 10 and 11kg. We checked store opening hours and locations in advance and adjusted food purchases accordingly.

At the start of the path the weather forecast wasn't very optimistic, but we experienced only one windy-rainy day, otherwise sunny, occasionally cloudy, with pleasant temperatures.

We didn't have hiking poles with us and didn't miss them either. We discovered many new corners on Krk and fully enjoyed solitude and lively bird song. We met only rare individuals on individual stages. Locals know Camino quite well and are very friendly. nasmehnasmeh
The path is very well marked, occasionally the phone app comes in handy too1

This time we continued with the 4th and 5th stage, so along the path Omišalj - Čižiči - Vrbnik. We overnighted in Soline, since we had a driver with us.mežikanje
For the 4th stage I can say it mostly goes on open terrain and can be quite hot on the way, that's why the 5th stage is mostly in the shade, except the last hour to Vrbnik, but there you can refresh in the sea.jezik
To end the second day we drove to Potovošče beach (parking all day 15 €, sunbeds with umbrella 30 €), the last day we just swam in Njivice.

So we went to finish our path with the 6th stage and the 7th stage.mežikanje
We started in Vrbnik, which we like a lot, so we walked it again in the morning; an uninteresting asphalt part follows, then a nicer continuation among vineyards and later across Mesečev plato all the way to Baška, where we overnighted.
The last stage goes over the highest point on the island, Obzova peak, also HPO point. This part from Baška to Punat is the most mountainous on the whole path, then a bit on asphalt and macadam to Kornić, which is the official end point. But we on the second day extended to Krk, where we also started our path and thus closed the whole circle around the island.jezik
On the third day we also visited Košljun island by boat, which is also part of Camino Krk, so we collected all stamps.nasmeh
Thus full of nice impressions we finished Camino Krk, priceless shared memories of the walked path will remain for us.

Camino Krk we've been eyeing for a while. It's close, just the right length, it only had to call us nasmeh. That happened after longer exploration of the Dolomites, when we needed a little change. The fact that our Spanish Camino fell through for the second year in a row also contributed somewhat. We miss such paths a lot, so we headed to neighbors by the sea.

We started in the second half of September. We chose this date for cooler weather, less tourism and cheaper accommodations. We walked linearly clockwise and looked for overnight stays on the go. Some do it centrally, with hosts transporting from point to point. All OK, as one likes. But off-season many things are already closed, accommodations, shops, eateries. Thus some stages can be longer without intermediate stops. Some homework was useful so there were no big surprises.

We walked all and more. Some extra km from accommodations, even more the return to Krk town from Kornić, where Camino Krk officially ends. Path markings are sufficient and it's hard to get completely lost. Here and there a sign is missing, probably due to some locals who don't want foreigners around. Along the whole path there are stamps in nice boxes. These aren't always well visible, not all stamps were available. Maybe just a note about mosquitoes and other biting nuisances zavijanje z očmi. Until I was properly protected I was a treat for them. Already first day I got the annual dose, so following days the itching kept me busy velik nasmeh.

Some impressions of the walked path… Camino Krk certainly isn't Spanish Camino, though it borrowed some ideas from it. Markings and logo similar, even pilgrim credential, but it's meant for Santiago. No cheap albergues of course, path only around island. In a circle you don't get to Santiago velik nasmeh. Camino Krk is therefore more of a modern tourist product to attract off-season guests, but at the same time it also promotes walking. As such it can only be welcome and a great experience for all who venture on this path. More on our experience in photo-stories by days...

DAY 1 ...

We drove from home early enough to arrive on Krk at first light. Ahead of us was a solid day tour. We parked in front of the town center at the huge and free Konzum parking lot. We chose a spot more in view, said goodbye to the car for a few days and hit the road.

In the center of Krk town we found the tourist office, where we got free and well-made *Hodočasničke putovnice*, or pilgrim credentials as we call them. We expected ones for Camino Krk, but got those for the Spanish Camino de Santiago nasmeh. Then the first stamp followed and we set off. Initial Camino signs appeared quickly and there were no major issues with direction further on. But that day we walked more in the island's interior with little sea ambiance, so after long hours of walking we happily stopped in Glavotok bay. Just before it was the only refreshment spot, not counting starting Krk and ending Porat. That's pizzeria Ivincic in Skrbčići, which I can only warmly recommend. More on the first day in the photos …
We park in front of Konzum and head to the town a good kilometer away1
There we find the main tourist office where we get a free credencial and the first stamp2
The obligatory morning coffee and a walk along the coast follow. Then it gets serious …3
Soon we spot the official sign for Camino Krk. There will be plenty more such signs ahead4
Quickly we are in the hinterland of the town where huge amounts of stones by the road are immediately noticeable5
There are plenty among the olive trees too. Thus generations have cleared the cultivated surfaces6
Stones are everywhere even along the paths. Without diligent hands the whole thing would be much harder to pass7
Krk left Krk right …8
But we stick to these signs. There are many shapes but all share a slashed arrow9
Puddles on the roads are surprisingly full everywhere even kapitalke among them10
Home-style … no work no food :)11
We didn't see many wild animals but all the more rabid mosquitoes :)12
Uvala Vela Jana with Slovenian girls cooling their heated feet13
It fits we can go on. Luckily we didn't take the biggest backpacks :)14
This is how most of the day goes …15
Finally we reach the beach again. This time we stop for refreshment16
Without thinking or warming up … straight into the water17
Drying is taking place in the sun, but completely differently from usual :)18

DAY 2 ...

In the morning we returned to the point where we left Camino Krk the previous day. First part of the day was again the island interior with numerous roads and paths and only at Malinska did we for the first time in two days properly approach the sea. Almost six kilometers of it, coastline of course and we walked it with pleasure nasmeh. That was what we'd been waiting for a long time and it kept eluding us. In Njivice we restocked, as we found an open grocery store Krk. Shop hours are quite varied, especially in smaller places they are open only in the morning. Prices are also much higher than in supermarkets, up to 30%. A kilo of nectarines was e.g. from 5€ to 8€, cheapest chocolate (80g) from 3€ to 5€, depending on where.

The continuation offered walking along the industrial zone and endless asphalt right next to it. Later the path turns towards the remains of a mighty church complex called Mirine, which stands on the site of the ancient Roman settlement Fulfin. Here is also one of the Camino Krk stamps. Then just a short section to the old part of Omišlj, where we ended the second day. More follows in the photo story ...
Early in the morning we leave the accommodation and head to the starting point1
Quickly we are back in the forest. This day too will have quite a bit of walking in the island's interior2

We're approaching the first larger town. Malinska is ahead of us.11
Finally some sea atmosphere :)12
The sea is calm, almost no wind. We don't miss the sun either, because it's already too hot for us without it.13
Yellow submarine. Obviously these quasi-submarines are popular, since we saw two more afterwards.14
This time we are destined for a longer visit to the coast.15
The coastal promenade is long and seems endless. This kind of walking suits us perfectly.16
When the promenade ends, more hidden spots quickly appear.17
Also such spots for lounging by crystal-clear water.18
Next stop is Njivice, where one of the stamps is also located.19
We need to replenish our supplies, so we're looking for a store. They have quite varying opening hours.20
We continue along the coast ...21
There are few tourists, the late date is noticeable.22
Soon we turn onto a less frequented path.23

DAY 3 ...

In the morning calm and quiet we left the old part of Omišlj and descended to the coastal path. It was a good two kilometers, during which we amazedly observed the abandoned hotel complexes. There's a huge amount of them and something must have gone terribly wrong for everything to be abandoned in such attractive locations.

We continued our path and at cape Kijac turned towards Krk Bridge. On the way we stopped at the well-kept Pušča camp, which has a shop and restaurant. Camp open all year. After good coffee we continued another three km and the bridge was ahead. Suddenly the paved path ended and we quickly realized we'd have to follow a barely visible trail right by the water. Markings confirmed it too. No problem for us, as it was low tide and sea calm nasmeh. Good for us, at the harbor in Voz bay we finally triumphed, then climbed to the plateau high above the sea. From there we continued towards Biserujka cave, which despite late date had quite some visitors.

We reached a longer coastal section again in Čižići, where the only shop is quite inappropriately off the path. We just caught their hours. Followed visit to Soline and sea refreshment, then ascent to Dobrinj. The ambiance at the old village square was so nice that we treated ourselves to lunch at the only restaurant. Just right, because a solid and not exactly nice hiking stage to Zmaisko selo followed, then the final part to Risika. Here we overnighted this time. Good night ...
Morning in the old part of Omišalj. No one anywhere except us1
The town is sleeping, but precisely the silence and peace make it especially beautiful2
View of the tourist part of Omišalj from the vantage point near the church of St. Anthony3
Once important but long abandoned hotel Učka is obviously being renovated4
From the old part we descend to the shore where the path continues5
There is quite some walking along the sea in between we marvel at the numerous ruined buildings6
Too early for bathing so we continue without stopping7
At Cape Kijac we change walking direction here the first sun greets us too8
Cape Vodotoč ahead, on the opposite shore the refinery at Bakar9
Auto-camp Pušča, which surprises us with its tidiness10
The beaches in the camp are also completely clean, without any litter11
We must not drill, mine or excavate. Good, then we just continue :)12
We are approaching the Krk Bridge. Two days ago we still drove over it13
Another view from the other side. The path goes deep below it14
Barely visible path runs for a good kilometer right along the sea, so feet can get wet at high tide :)15
We both pass it excellently, the weather also provided great photos16
View of the port in Voz bay, where we returned from beach sand to a more compact surface17
The inscriptions *barrel* and *bačva* don't quite fit the context for me :). There's also a stamp here18
The lower marking can easily be interpreted as Austrian too :)19
Slivanjska bay, where they apparently filmed Brotherhood of the Blue Seagull20
Cool attraction of Krk, the karst cave Biserujka21
Some technical details are on the nearby info board. Next to it there is also a stamp for Camino Krk22
Village Rudine ahead. Huge stone piles immediately catch the eye23
It's hot like mid-summer and our engines are slowly overheating24
We are approaching the sea again. Here Dobrinjski potok flows into the sea25
Time for a breakkk ….26
It sizzled a bit from overheating, but it got better quickly :)27
Ascent to Dobrinj follows28
Not for faint nerves :)29
In Dobrinj there is a very pleasant inn Zora, where we decide on lunch30
We continue …31
You have to be quite attentive to the stamps. You forget some, miss others, some are missing32
Unexpectedly we find ourselves on a worse hiking trail33
The day is saying goodbye, the forest is tall and dark. In front of us appears Zmajsko selo :)34
No dragons left, no dragons right, so we quickly pull forward :)35
Another stamp, this time on the dead-end branch at Kaštel Gradec36
Risika, near our accommodation. Only the bell tower is still catching the sun, the rest is already in deep shadow37
This time's apartment, so hidden in the greenery that we can hardly find it38
At the end of the trail, it turns out that we had the best experience in this accommodation :)39
It was a long day. We accumulated a hot 38 km and 700 m of ascent40

DAY 4 ...

The fourth day we remembered mainly for the heat. Wind gave up early and wasn't helping most of the day. Probably too hot for it too velik nasmeh. Us too, especially on the plateau towards Mjesečev plato. Up there no shade, just endless path through rocky landscape. Over eight km of it, dusty and time-consuming. No water either, so our supplies dwindled quickly. But in order …

Morning we left Risika and descended to the sea. Reached it at cape Sveti Marak, then along the coast towards Vrbnik. Coastal path is actually narrow road, partly scenic, partly not. Along it many campervans overnighted, mostly foreigners, though parking prohibited. In Vrbnik we took a break, then past numerous vineyards started climbing. Followed area of wild orchids, unfortunately wilted, then the final ascent to the top plateau began. Here we reached solid height around 350 m, plus minus and after long km descended towards Baška. Descent path arranged for mass tourism and soon we were in town. On the beach followed longer refreshment, then we looked for accommodation.

Accommodations I always book at least day before. Use Booking, which hasn't disappointed in long years of use. On app I check what's available and references. Mainly location as close to path as possible, accommodation costs and of course guest ratings, esp. cleanliness and noise. Interestingly, everywhere we got apartments. They were cheapest, plus fridge and kettle for coffee anyway. Didn't need more. Price for such overnight from 60€ to 80€, satisfied everywhere. But end of September already quite closed and good to know approx where you'll sleep next day.
Morning view of the new day1
Everything is prepared for visitors, only there's still too little sun2
That has come too and quickly warmed the atmosphere3
Hidden beach just calling for a quick refreshment. We don't resist :)4
Back on the path …5
There are still many of our shared markers from the times of Yugoslavia, in some places new ones are already replacing them6
Vrbnik, known for the wine Vrbnička Žlahtina. Made from grapes of the indigenous vine that grows exclusively on Krk7
In the continuation only ascent follows …8
Vrbnik is already deep below us9
The sun mercilessly scorches, we pound the asphalt10
After a while the terrain flattens, stone-fenced sheep pastures appear11
The landscape becomes even more stony, only low bushes grow from the greenery12
There is nowhere even the smallest shade to stop at least for a moment13
It runs at around 350 m altitude and since we are closer to the sun it is obviously even hotter :)14
Mjesečev plateau. The name has nothing to do with the moon but is named after Mjesec mountain15
First and only hut for hikers. Here the box is empty stamp missing16
Descent to Baška serves with a nice path and even nicer views17
 The pace is fast and soon we are in the town18
A proper refreshment follows both outside and inside19
Such full beaches as in Baška we have not seen on any day of the Camino20
For today we have enough. Only the path to accommodation awaits us21
Track of the fourth day. We covered 32 km and 700 elevation meters22

DAY 5 ...

The fifth, final day of Camino Krk arrived. First we stamped in lowland Jurandol, then another one at the higher shrine of Mother of God. The box is behind the wall, so it hid well from us nasmeh. There followed a real mountain ascent to the highest points of Krk. The main peak is Obzova and towards it hikers came from opposite sides. Mostly Slovenes. On this side we also descended to the lowland and after five km reached Punat. No swimming due to many moorings here, but we refreshed in bay Sv. Dunat below Kornići. Kornići is also official end of Camino Krk, where at church of St. James the Apostle we found the last stamp.

Back to Krk town on foot, so we closed the complete loop on our own power velik nasmeh. Added five extra km and with navigation help quickly at starting point from a few days ago. With this we really finished our Camino Krk. Not home yet, so went to neighbors for another themed path, Via Apsyrtides (here)
Baška, tourist area with apartments and camps, above all with bakeries on every corner1
Working weather station from some other times .... hello, will it be hot today too?2
The ridge is already in the sun. Obviously it will be hot...3
Along the almost dried-up Veli Riki we chase the last cool kilometers4
We visit Jurandol where the stamp is, then we go to get one each at the church of Our Lady5
Many steps lead to it6
Further on the real mountain path begins7
High mountains :)8
On that side we walked the previous day towards Mjesečev plato9
Direction … Camino Krk10
The landscape is beautiful and varied11
This is how the path goes between sharp stones12
Just a little further then between rounded blocks of completely different rock13
We are already higher than yesterday14
Obzova, the highest peak of Krk15
Group. The umbrella on the left is for holding in bad weather and works great :)16
On the summit ridge we cross four peaks … Zminja, Obzova, Brestovica and Veli vrh17
This is the last one, Veli vrh at 542 m.18
View of the final section of Camino Krk.19
Descending and meeting numerous hikers. It's already quite hot for us two :)20
No wonder, the wind has completely died down in the lowlands again.21
Next point of the trail, Punat.22
But to get there it's almost three kilometers of dusty road, where at Treh križi there is another stamp.23
Punat, where the first break will be.24
Punat is primarily an area of numerous moorings, less of bathing beaches.25
Preparations for the next season.26
Here on land there are considerably larger boats...27
... and even bigger.28
Very unusual church of Sv. Dunat below Korniči.29
And its interior.30
After swimming, hiking drying follows again :)31
In Korniči we collect the last stamp, then we head separately to Krk.32
One of numerous hunting observatories. We didn't see what they hunt.33
Incredible connections. All this kamneje originates from clearing parcels.34
Here mainly olive groves are at home. There are countless and all well-kept.35
Final destination.36
Only through the old part of the town we go, then return to the starting point follows.37
On the final day we walked 31 km and 850 m of elevation gain.38
