A walk through time: Interpretive tour "From Karst to Gold"
In addition to cycling adventures, September in Krk also brings a unique cultural experience – free interpretive walks through the old town center called "From Karst to Gold". On two Sundays in September, September 21 and 28, 2025, the city streets become a stage where centuries of history, art, and daily life come to life. This is not a classic tourist tour, but a carefully crafted story that takes visitors on a journey from the harsh stone and medicinal herbs of the karst to "gold" – the rich cultural, musical, and historical heritage that has sprung from that stone. The guidance is provided in Croatian and English, making it accessible to all visitors.
The walk begins at 6:00 PM at the Square of the Glagolitic Monks of Krk, in front of the imposing Romanesque Church of the Mother of God of Health. This place was not chosen by chance. The church, originally dedicated to St. Michael, received its current name in the difficult times of the cholera epidemic, becoming a symbol of hope and protection. It is right here that the story of health and knowledge about the medicinal herbs that grow on the island begins, which generations of Krk residents used for healing and survival. The path continues towards the music school building, where the story intertwines with sounds and reveals the island's rich musical heritage. Participants will learn how the skilled hands of masters create instruments like the traditional sopila from a simple piece of wood, turning a gift of nature into a work of art that conveys emotions and preserves identity.
The highlight of the walk is the arrival at the magnificent Kamplin Square, dominated by the Frankopan Castle, the best-preserved profane medieval monument in the city. Here, under the walls that defended the city for centuries, the story "From Karst to Gold" ends, completing the journey through the history of the powerful Frankopan family, the princes of Krk, whose influence shaped the destiny not only of the island but of all of Croatia. The walk is free for all participants, but due to the intimate atmosphere and a limited number of places, registration via e-mail at info@visitkrk.city is mandatory. Secure your spot and experience the history of the city of Krk in an unforgettable way.
