Get ready for an unforgettable experience of immersion in nature, filled with breathtaking views and an abundance of positive energy! This Saturday, May 10, 2025, starting at 9:00 AM, all lovers of active holidays and natural beauty are invited to another enchanting recreational walk. This event is part of the commendable "Dobrinj Outdoor" program, an initiative that tirelessly promotes a healthy life, socializing, and exploring the hidden gems of the Dobrinj region. This time, the adventure begins in the picturesque Čižići, a place that in itself invites relaxation and escape from everyday life.

Starting and gathering point

The gathering of participants is scheduled in front of the famous Lastura konoba in charming Čižići. This traditional meeting place is the ideal starting point for the adventure that follows. It is recommended to arrive a little earlier to prepare on time, breathe in the fresh morning air, and feel the excitement that comes with joint exploration. For those who wish to extend their stay and fully experience the beauty of this region, it is worth exploring accommodation options in Čižići.

Detailed route description: From the coast to the viewpoint

The planned route, approximately 10 kilometers long, has been carefully designed to provide a diverse experience of the landscape and allow for enjoyment at a leisurely pace, suitable for everyone. The walk begins at a gentle pace along the coast, following the line of the widely known Meline beach. This sandy beach, located in the spacious Soline bay, is not just a place for swimming; it is also known for its healing mud, which gives it a special charm and makes it unique. As you walk by the sea, you will have the opportunity to feel the beneficial effect of aerosols and enjoy the scenes of the calm bay waking up under the morning sun.

After the coastal part, the trail plunges into the lush greenery of the Soline field. This area, once significant for salt production as evidenced by the remains of old salt pans, is today an oasis of peace and quiet. Walkers will be greeted here by the scents of Mediterranean herbs and the soothing sounds of nature. The path then leads through the picturesque Dobrinj draga, a gorge through which a stream flows, offering scenes of untouched nature and freshness that will please every participant. Expect the rustling of leaves underfoot and the play of light and shadow as you pass through this green oasis.

The next stage leads towards the picturesque settlement of Tribulje. Located inland, on a hill opposite the municipal center of Dobrinj, Tribulje exudes the spirit of times past with its preserved indigenous architecture. A short stop or passage through this small place will provide insight into the traditional way of life of this region. From Tribulje, the route continues along a macadam road towards Sužan. Macadam trails always carry a special charm, allowing for more direct contact with nature and a feeling of distance from the city bustle. This part of the path is ideal for relaxed walking and informal conversations, just as the name of the event series itself – "TO WALK, TO CHAT AND TO GET TO KNOW THE DOBRINJ REGION" – suggests.

The highlight of the walk: A view to remember

The crown of the walking tour is undoubtedly the arrival at the viewpoint near Sužan. From this elevated point, a magnificent, panoramic view extends over the entire Soline bay, that beautiful, deeply indented bay, known for its shallowness and warm sea. The view extends even further, across the blue sea all the way to the mainland, creating a scene that will surely remain etched in the memory of all participants. This is an ideal place for a break, photography, and simply enjoying the beauty of the landscape that stretches before you. Moments spent here will fill you with a sense of peace and admiration for nature.

The return to hospitable Čižići is planned at the same leisurely pace, allowing participants to once again absorb the beauty of the environment, exchange impressions, and enjoy the final kilometers of this recreational adventure. The total duration of the walk is estimated at several hours, but this, of course, depends on the group's dynamics and the time spent at rest stops and the viewpoint.

Benefits of participation and the importance of recreation

Participating in such an organized walk brings numerous benefits. Besides the obvious physical benefits such as improved fitness, muscle strengthening, and stimulated circulation, spending time in nature has an extremely positive effect on mental health. It has been scientifically proven that walking in a green environment reduces stress, improves mood, increases feelings of happiness and well-being, and reduces anxiety. Just five minutes spent in nature can significantly boost self-confidence and relax the mind. Furthermore, group activities like this provide an opportunity for socializing, meeting new people with similar interests, and strengthening the sense of community. The "Dobrinj Outdoor" program aims precisely at that – connecting people through a love for nature and an active lifestyle.

Practical information and tips for participants

To make your experience as pleasant and safe as possible, the organizers have prepared a few important notes:

• Comfortable footwear: Given the diversity of the terrain, which includes a coastal path, field trails, and macadam, it is essential to wear sturdy and comfortable footwear intended for walking. Sneakers with good soles or light hiking boots will be an ideal choice.


• Sun protection: Although it is spring, the sun can be strong, especially on open parts of the trail and at the viewpoint. It is recommended to wear a cap or hat, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen with a protective factor.


• Water: A sufficient amount of water is crucial for maintaining hydration during several hours of physical activity. Bring a bottle of water with you and drink regularly, even if you do not feel thirsty. Also consider a light fruit snack or an energy bar for refreshment.


• Layered clothing: Morning temperatures can be lower, so it is advisable to dress in layers so you can adapt to temperature changes during the walk.

It is important to note that all participants walk at their own risk. Therefore, it is essential to assess your own physical abilities and follow the instructions of the walk leader.
