Kavranova stena

The view from Kavranova stena is worth the detour, especially around sunrise or the hour before sunset.

Worth knowing

Kavranova stena stands in Kvarner, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Check the weather before you commit to a drive or a climb. Haze kills the view, and the best light is around sunrise or the hour before sunset.

Practical info

• Entry: look up the current price and opening hours before you go. Both change through the year, and a few spots close completely out of season.
• How to get there: Tap the map above for exact directions. In Croatian towns parking is usually signposted and paid, look for the blue P zones. If you are island hopping, leave buffer time for the ferries.

Timing your trip

Plan Kavranova stena for May to October, with June and September the quietest warm months. July and August bring the crowds and the heat; winter is cheaper and handsomer than people expect, especially in the inland cities.
