Who this fits

With friends Adventure Ecotourism Photography

Fits if you want a K3-K4 (medium-high) ferrata with overhangs and a zipline, paired with karst landscape unique in Europe. Ideal for couples or friends with basic heights experience.

Doesn't fit for beginners (try an easier K2/K3 first) or beach lovers. In summer it hits 35 °C and the ferrata is dawn-only.

Frequently asked

Got a question not listed here? Just ask.
