Mount Ucka hike - Hills to Sea trail

Explore Mount Učka, a fairy-tale made of trees and hidden places by hitting marked and unmarked trails.You will be on the trail no later than 9:00 a.m. The trail starts at Poklon (922 m). The route will lead through forest and meadows until reaching a 1,012 m high hilltop sloping down into the sea. On the way to this point (Babin grob), you will pass through the beautiful landscape of Učka Nature Park.On the hilltop, gaze at the rich opening before you and have some rest.From Babin Grob, you will take a trail descending via east slope of Učka down to Medveja, a strip of coast with a beautiful beach. A definite highlight is to enter the sea right after the hike. If you consider yourself a die-hard outdoorsman, you can swim in the sea in the wintertime as well. It is a vigorous experience!Please note, some previous downhill hiking experience is recommended. The lower section of the route has hundred-year-old stone stairs that you should take on your way down to the coast.There is no backbreaking tempo however, and you rest a lot. Special attention is paid to scenic routes.
