The name Limski Kanal goes back to the ancient border river Lim which separated the regions of Poreč and Pula. There are several fish and mussel farms in the canal. The entire area of the Limski Canal is a nature reserve, so please behave accordingly.

Deep Water Solo place in pula. Might be one of the famest caves for DWS in Istria.

The place is so crowded after 10 a.m. that climbing becomes very dangerous!!

Possibility of cliff jumping and there are bolts for a waterline. There are more rock formations westwards from the area.

Be aware that those rock formations are part of a military zone!

Be aware of the tide, big waves and the possibility of rocks in the water!

A steep cave with mostly hard to very hard routes.

The heavily overhanging wall can be seen from the road. Directly at the bridge, it goes from the road on the right side of the crash barrier into the forest. If the thorn bushes are overgrown, the path cannot be seen. Behind it, a steep path leads up through foliage and trees. In a clearing on the right side of the wall there is a small ledge. Climb up there and turn left again through the forest, cross the river bed and go over to the wall.

Quaint crag located alongside the valley of the River Kupa on the Croatian side beneath the town of Klanac.

descrição

Two sectors. One of them is a sport sector with 7 bolted routes ranging from Font. grades 4-7b that scale an average height of 12 meters. The routes start out easy on the right end, but the further left you go, the harder they become. Second sector is a boulder face just barely left of Klanac's last sport climb "Push'n Faith". The second sector hosts two 5 meter boulders.

acesso

Make a right turn off of D3 onto street where Restaurant Mirni Kut is located, then continue until the road descends to outlook Damalj's open field. Once you reach a fork in the road, take the left lane until you reach the base of the hill by the river.

There should be an old broken down stone mill on the bank of the river with a manmade rocky cascade that stretches to the Slovenian Border. The large open filed should be on your left.

On your right, there should be a semi-steep passage up to a wooden platform. During wet season, this passage can be a tad dangerous with mud slippage.

Quiet beach and beautiful pinnacle Stogaj

descrição

Beautiful setting also for non-climbers. All the rusty bolts were replaced at the end of 2021. with the new Raumer stainless steel AISI 316L Marine (HCR). Other bolts are stainless steel AISI 304 or 316 or home made glue-ins “U” hangers that are still shiny. The backdrop cliff is of solid limestone, providing some shade; the pinnacle feels like some limestone breccia - interesting holds, but sometimes a bit flaky. If you want to be attracted to this climbing area, then watch the short video about the spectacular "Stogaj" tower:

https://youtu.be/WP70DDvdkcM

acesso

Driving from Novalja to Žigljen (ferry) take turnoff right towards Metajna. Pass the village and continue till you reach the abandoned restaurant "Kanjon" close to the beach. Park and follow the faint path behind ridge for ~ 1km to the bay below the pinnacle. (44.5030986, 15.0200513)

Depending on your inclination, you may perceive Paklenica either as a most convenient venue with rock-climbing of many tastes served on a silver platter - or as an overcommercialized outdoor gym. Paklenica's limestone offers numerous routes of all difficulty, from boulders, short sport routes to harrowing multi-pitch trad adventures. The more frequented sectors are well signposted; benchmark routes are labelled with small plaquettes. Paklenica is a national park. The climbing is restricted to the great gorge. There is an entrance fee to be paid for entering the gorge, 5-day-discounts (within 30 days) are available (check https://paklenica.hr ). The narrowest (and most frequented) part of the gorge is a few steps from the parking. Here you can climb also with small children - if you ensure they don't fall down the 1-m-embankment into the creek. Further up in the sides of the canyon there are many multipitch routes in various grades, less suitable for families. The most famous rock formation is Anica Kuk with routes up to 350 m. Most of the routes in Paklenica are well bolted. Grading is in UIAA or in French scale.
