Walking Croatia

The Croatian Mountaineering Association covers the complete range of related activities. Unlike majority of the international mountaineering associations, our Association comprises speleology, climbing, orienteering and mountain rescue.

The Association is responsible for the maintenance of mountain huts and paths in Croatia, and is the publisher of the magazine “Hrvatski planinar” (The Croatian Mountaineer) and of other promotional materials. Through schools and courses it provides relevant professional education and training. Whatever information you may need on the Croatian mountains and mountaineering, you can get from the Mountaineering Association of Croatia.

The Croatian Climbing Society (HPD) was founded in 1874, which puts the Croats among the first seven nations in the world with a climbing organization. It is interesting that at the beginning climbing in Croatia was more directed towards scientific research of natural features in the mountains and less towards the conquest of peaks. Thus leading university professors and scientists were members of the society in the last century. However, in spite of this long tradition, the mountains are still the least known part of our country.
