Crikvenica

A rainy morning at Stjepan Radić Square leads us quickly to the protective walls of the church. At noon, the City Museum and the Aquarium provide perfect shelters from the coastal downpour. In the afternoon, we enjoy the historic atmosphere at Hotel Kaštel with a warm drink. In the evening, we take a short walk along Crni molo despite the rain before finding a local tavern.

Fresh winter air at the almost empty main square wakes us up early in the morning. At noon, we seek the warmth of the museums while the winter sun hangs low over the Adriatic. In the afternoon, we admire the former monastery Kaštel before the light fades around 16:30. We end the evening with a glass of Vinodol valley wine in a heated local konoba.

Explore Crikvenica on two wheels. Start with the Love Path, which takes you through green forests. Visit the botanical Love Labyrinth for a moment of peace. Cycle back to the coast, visit the City Gallery, and admire the statue of St. Nicholas. The afternoon ends relaxingly at Crni molo beach, where you can cool off in the sea after your ride.

Be careful on the Love Path, as the forest floor can be slippery in the rain. At noon we visit the labyrinth before the rain gets heavier in the center. The City Gallery offers the perfect indoor cultural stop in the afternoon. In the evening, we end at Crni molo, where the asphalt is safe even when wet.

Cold breeze on the Love Path – the clear views make up for the chill. At noon we cycle through the labyrinth; Mediterranean scents are present even in winter. The City Gallery provides a welcome warming break in the afternoon. Before sunset, we reach Crni molo for the final stretch in the winter light.

By car, you will discover the diversity of the riviera. Start in peaceful Selce and then visit the Aquarium in the center of Crikvenica. Continue to the Kačjak peninsula for a nature experience away from the crowds. A highlight is the drive into the hinterland to the Vinodol viewpoints. End the day relaxing at Crni molo beach before heading back.

The drive to Selce is relaxed even in rain, with plenty of parking available. At noon, the Aquarium in Crikvenica is the perfect destination for the family. The Kačjak peninsula looks mystical in the mist; a short walk is worth it. The viewpoint offers a dramatic view of the clouds over the Vinodol valley.

Selce is wonderfully quiet in winter, ideal for photos without the crowds. The Aquarium offers a warm break before heading to the Kačjak peninsula. The drive to the 'Eyes of Vinodol' often provides the clearest views in winter. Finally, we enjoy the cool sea breeze at Crni molo from the comfort of the car.
