Stara Baška trail run to Vrska Glawa and Veliki Hlam

This is a trail run to Vrska Glawa and Veliki Hlam I've done from small parking behind from Stara Baška.

The starting point is located a bit behind Stara Baška, on a parking used by beach visitors. It’s a very interesting run I can recommend, very nice also for hiking.

trail beginning

It’s fascinating how many different landscapes there are on Krk island. Here, just 100 meters above see level, we have alpine landscapes.

cliff top

On the top of cliff ridge, Vrska Glava, we have rugged, hard terrain, full of loose stones. On this day, it was also very windy.

pine trees

Just below, in the wind protected valley, we have a lot of mountain pines.

top veliki hlam

This is the top of Veliki Hlam. The stone pile marks the highest point of the mountain.

mountain pond

A surprising encounter - a small pond middle in dry mountainous landscape.

This is the track of the run on Strava:

I’ve done this run on the day off from diving - my ears needed a pause, and the wind was very strong, which means bigger waves. It allowed me to discover a completely different perspective of the island.
