bos, thanks for the great contribution from my birth island. I personally know the author of the driftwood sculpture from picture 25.  Although my home has been elsewhere for a long time, and I'm not ashamed to admit that I prefer mountains to the sea (especially in summer crowds), my heart still beats happily.

So we went to finish our path with the 6th stage and the 7th stage. We started in Vrbnik, which we like a lot, so we walked it again in the morning; an uninteresting asphalt part follows, then a nicer continuation among vineyards and later across Mesečev plato all the way to Baška, where we overnighted. The last stage goes over the highest point on the island, Obzova peak, also HPO point. This part from Baška to Punat is the most mountainous on the whole path, then a bit on asphalt and macadam to Kornić, which is the official end point. But we on the second day extended to Krk, where we also started our path and thus closed the whole circle around the island. On the third day we also visited Košljun island by boat, which is also part of Camino Krk, so we collected all stamps. Thus full of nice impressions we finished Camino Krk, priceless shared memories of the walked path will remain for us.

Camino Krk we've been eyeing for a while. It's close, just the right length, it only had to call us . That happened after longer exploration of the Dolomites, when we needed a little change. The fact that our Spanish Camino fell through for the second year in a row also contributed somewhat. We miss such paths a lot, so we headed to neighbors by the sea. We started in the second half of September. We chose this date for cooler weather, less tourism and cheaper accommodations. We walked linearly clockwise and looked for overnight stays on the go. Some do it centrally, with hosts transporting from point to point. All OK, as one likes. But off-season many things are already closed, accommodations, shops, eateries. Thus some stages can be longer without intermediate stops. Some homework was useful so there were no big surprises. We walked all and more. Some extra km from accommodations, even more the return to Krk town from Kornić, where Camino Krk officially ends. Path markings are sufficient and it's hard to get completely lost. Here and there a sign is missing, probably due to some locals who don't want foreigners around. Along the whole path there are stamps in nice boxes. These aren't always well visible, not all stamps were available. Maybe just a note about mosquitoes and other biting nuisances . Until I was properly protected I was a treat for them. Already first day I got the annual dose, so following days the itching kept me busy . Some impressions of the walked path… Camino Krk certainly isn't Spanish Camino, though it borrowed some ideas from it. Markings and logo similar, even pilgrim credential, but it's meant for Santiago. No cheap albergues of course, path only around island. In a circle you don't get to Santiago . Camino Krk is therefore more of a modern tourist product to attract off-season guests, but at the same time it also promotes walking. As such it can only be welcome and a great experience for all who venture on this path. More on our experience in photo-stories by days...

Nice , also in Porat, on picture 25, they have good pizza. I see from the stamps that you've also walked Cres and Mali Lošinj, waiting for the publication.

Boštjan, the weather held, we did too, so Via Apsyrtides was the logical continuation . For starters just this much, that on the satisfaction scale this path ranks well ahead of Camino Krk.

DAY 3 ... In the morning calm and quiet we left the old part of Omišlj and descended to the coastal path. It was a good two kilometers, during which we amazedly observed the abandoned hotel complexes. There's a huge amount of them and something must have gone terribly wrong for everything to be abandoned in such attractive locations. We continued our path and at cape Kijac turned towards Krk Bridge. On the way we stopped at the well-kept Pušča camp, which has a shop and restaurant. Camp open all year. After good coffee we continued another three km and the bridge was ahead. Suddenly the paved path ended and we quickly realized we'd have to follow a barely visible trail right by the water. Markings confirmed it too. No problem for us, as it was low tide and sea calm . Good for us, at the harbor in Voz bay we finally triumphed, then climbed to the plateau high above the sea. From there we continued towards Biserujka cave, which despite late date had quite some visitors. We reached a longer coastal section again in Čižići, where the only shop is quite inappropriately off the path. We just caught their hours. Followed visit to Soline and sea refreshment, then ascent to Dobrinj. The ambiance at the old village square was so nice that we treated ourselves to lunch at the only restaurant. Just right, because a solid and not exactly nice hiking stage to Zmaisko selo followed, then the final part to Risika. Here we overnighted this time. Good night ...

DAY 4 ... The fourth day we remembered mainly for the heat. Wind gave up early and wasn't helping most of the day. Probably too hot for it too . Us too, especially on the plateau towards Mjesečev plato. Up there no shade, just endless path through rocky landscape. Over eight km of it, dusty and time-consuming. No water either, so our supplies dwindled quickly. But in order … Morning we left Risika and descended to the sea. Reached it at cape Sveti Marak, then along the coast towards Vrbnik. Coastal path is actually narrow road, partly scenic, partly not. Along it many campervans overnighted, mostly foreigners, though parking prohibited. In Vrbnik we took a break, then past numerous vineyards started climbing. Followed area of wild orchids, unfortunately wilted, then the final ascent to the top plateau began. Here we reached solid height around 350 m, plus minus and after long km descended towards Baška. Descent path arranged for mass tourism and soon we were in town. On the beach followed longer refreshment, then we looked for accommodation. Accommodations I always book at least day before. Use Booking, which hasn't disappointed in long years of use. On app I check what's available and references. Mainly location as close to path as possible, accommodation costs and of course guest ratings, esp. cleanliness and noise. Interestingly, everywhere we got apartments. They were cheapest, plus fridge and kettle for coffee anyway. Didn't need more. Price for such overnight from 60€ to 80€, satisfied everywhere. But end of September already quite closed and good to know approx where you'll sleep next day.
