Ready, Set, Zip!
Zip-lining is a very popular and growing outdoor activity, and Krk is not an exception to it. There are several zip lines on the island available throughout the whole year for you to experience. Whether you are an adrenaline junkie or not, flying over the spectacular scenery will surely spice up your holiday.
One of the longest and most popular lines is the Edison Zip Line, located on the Treskavac pass, not far away from the towns of Krk and Punat. You will find it easily by following the state road D102 to the panoramic viewpoint of Treskavac, then make a stop right next to a large stone monolith sculpture of a Glagolitic letter A. The starting point of the zip-line is, of course, also the highest. From there, you have a beautiful view over the south side of the island, overlooking the green Baška Valley, extending down to the Adriatic Sea, the island of Prvić, and Velebit Mountain.
What follows next is not for the faint-hearted.
