Mountaineering
Croatia is a land with many hiking trails. Beginners can already start near Zagreb, Ogulin, Rovinj, Pazin, Split and Omiš, and then there are the heights on the islands of Mljet, Brač and Vis. Passionate climbers can choose from over 400 organised mountain trails, some of which are the most demanding in Europe.

Rafting
If you want some great rafting, then remember the names of these rivers: Kupa, Dobra, Mrežnica, Korana, Una, Zrmanja and Cetina. The numerous organised rafting packages in Croatia include a guide and all the required equipment for each individual member of the team.

Sailing and nautics
66 islands, 652 islets, 389 rocks and 78 reefs are more than a thousand reasons to fulfil anyone’s nautical dreams. The ideally laid out islands, that are separated by no more than 10 nautical miles and about 1500 bays and ports, makes the Croatian Adriatic equally as ideal for sailing under full sail as it is for cruising on motor boats. 56 modern marinas with around 16,000 wet berths and 5,500 dry berths are available all year round.

Skiing
Unbelievable but true – it really is possible to ski in Croatia! Immediately in the hinterland of Rijeka there is the snowy destination of Platak, and somewhat further away there is the Croatian Olympic centre of Bjelolasica at a height of 620 m. In the vicinity of the metropolis, skiing is offered on the slopes of Medvednica on the recently renovated new pistes that have the highest peak of Sljeme.

Speleology
As a true Karst region, Croatia is full of caves. The most famous and most magical are the Modra Špilja [Blue cave] on Biševo and the Zmajeva Špilja [Dragons cave] on the island of Brač. The caves in Papuk and in the Kordun, Lika, Dalmatia and Zagorje regions are open to visitors who have no experience and can enjoy the various forms of the stalactites and stalagmites..
