Gabonjin is a pretty small settlement in the heart of Krk island, not far from the popular resort of Malinska. The village has preserved its authentic island character and features visitors an escape from the hustle and bustle of coastal towns. The most significant attraction is the Glagolitic Path (Put glagoljaša), an educational trail that brings the history of the old Croatian script to life through stone monuments in the surrounding nature. The architecture of the place is characterized by traditional stone houses and well-kept gardens. The small church of Saint Peter (Sveti Petar) on the nearby hill gives a magnificent view of the Malinska bay and the vast sea. For active vacationers, the surroundings offer numerous hiking and cycling trails that lead through dense oak forests and silvery shimmering olive groves. In local gastronomy, homemade specialties such as Šurlice pasta with lamb ragout or first-class olive oil are in focus. Gabonjin is a good place for travelers who want to get to know the original life on Krk and experience firsthand the region's deep cultural roots in the Glagolitic tradition.
