Alpin topptur i Opcina Trilj

A hike from Trnovačko Jezero to Buško Jezero. From the Montenegran border to Croatian border along BiH's beautiful mountainranges and National Parks. #mustsee #dontmiss ;-) Perućica, Sutjeska, Zelengora, Treskavica, Visočica, Bjelašnica, Rakitnica, Prenj, Čvrsnica, Blidinje, Vran and Svinjar. This is what I hiked, so it includes all the wrong turns I took AND the parts where I lost the trail... But I thought it might be useful in order to see where future Via Dinarica hikers might pay a bit more attention. (My waypoints will follow soon)

Highlights definetely are Dinara, Crnopac, Paklenica, Velebit, Samarske Stijene and Risnjak. This is the route I hiked. Yes, I skipped some parts of the original Via Dinarica hiking trail and choose to walk the bikingroutes instead. In Croatia the White Trail is not officially ¨open¨ yet, they (Via Dinarica HR team) actually suggested me to hike the ¨pearls, flowers or highlights¨ and use public transport in between. Getting the right bus to the right place was such a hassle that walking on the roads (good views all the way) was much easier.  There is one part where I got a ride. From Knin to Gračac is very busy road, in my opinion not safe to hike. The hiking trail is also not completely safe, since it is still a mine suspected area. According to the experience of another hiker who tried to follow the original GPS track, it was impossible to get through the wilderness (and he got chasen by a mad dog)... I wanted to hike from Snežnik in Croatia to Snežnik in Slovenia, but that's not an official bordercrossing. So I went to Rupa where I continued via Ilirska Bistrica to Mašun and Sviščakih (see my Slovenian tours). This is an alternative route that starts from Risnjak. I avoided the parts where the hiking trails are not maintained at all, but again, I walked quite a lot of asphalt. Which I again actually liked. Quiet, scenic roads through these typical rural areas which people might call ¨less developed¨, but in my opinion have more soul than the touristic coast villages..  It is possible to hike more hiking trails and include some peaks from Risnjak to Rupa, I suggest to be creative :)  

Bijela linija Via Dinarice pruža zainteresiranim obilaznicima priliku da uzdužnim obilaskom dobro upoznaju raznolike prirodne vrijednosti hrvatskih planina. Prateći smjer pružanja Dinarida, ona povezuje najatraktivnije hrvatske planine, vrhove i vidikovce, koristeći infrastrukturu najpopularnijih hrvatskih planinarskih obilaznica (Goranski planinarski put, Kapelski planinarski put, Velebitski planinarski put). Najvišu točku dostiže na planini Dinari, najvišem vrhu Hrvatske, ujedno i planini koja je dala ime cijelom Dinarskom gorju i putu Via Dinarica. Pružajući iznimnu priliku za upoznavanje samoga srca hrvatskih Dinarida, put obuhvaća sva tri hrvatska planinska nacionalna parka, oba hrvatska stroga prirodna rezervata te najveći hrvatski park prirode. Bijela linija preporučuje se iskusnim i dobro opremljenim planinarima. Najpogodnije ju obilaziti u ljetnom razdoblju, budući da su u zimskim mjesecima dionice u Gorskom kotaru, na vršnom dijelu Velebita i na Dinari pokrivene snijegom, koji se može zadržati i do kasnoga proljeća.
