This event is unique in Croatia and, due to last year’s good results, has been recognised globally. Namely, in May the Walking Festival started the process of joining the World Walking Federation (IML) and has the status of a candidate. The best proof is that Croatia is following the world trends, and the ultimate goal is to gather tens of thousands of walkers in the same way as similar events in the world that have been taking place for many years.
Registrations are open until 30 August. More details here.
The festival is organised by the Croatian Walking Association, Lika-Senj County Tourist Board and Lika Travel.
