# Papuk Peak

Geopark.

Papuk Peak sits in Slavonia, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the mountain is the reason most people stop.

Carry water, sun protection and a real map or offline GPS. Mobile signal is patchy inland and the weather can turn quickly above 1,000 m.

## Practical info

- **Entry:** confirm entry fees and hours on the official site before you set out. They shift with the season, and some places shut altogether off-season.
- **How to get there:** The map above gives exact directions. Expect paid, signposted parking in most towns (blue P zones), and pad your schedule if you are catching a ferry to an island.

## When to go

Papuk Peak rewards a visit between **May and October**. The sweet spot is June or September, when the water is warm and the crowds thinner than in July and August. Come in winter and you find a quieter, cheaper country, at its most likeable inland.
