RECREATION
The island of Rab is the ninth largest island in the Adriatic and the whole island is crisscrossed
by attractive walking and cycle trails. Tourists can obtain a map indicating these paths. All
the tourist trails, both for mountain climbers and walkers, are carefully indicated together
with marked panoramic viewpoints. Of special interest is the trail which leads up to the
highest peak on Rab, Kamenjak, or perhaps the historic Premuzić’s Path (Premuzićeva staza),
constructed by the famous Croatian creator of mountaineering trails, Ante Premužić. From
the top of Kamenjak, a beautiful panoramic view stretches over the whole island as well as
out over a large portion of the Velebit range and the Velebit channel. As for Premuzić’s Path,
this passes through the most interesting parts of Kalifront, the protected forest of Dundo and
at one point through an area where the effects of erosion can clearly be seen on the flysch
formations.
The surrounding area of the town of Rab is also rich in pleasant and easy walking and cycle
paths, as is the centuries-old forest of Kalifront. In the northernmost part of the island, in the
region of Lopar and Fruga, there are several more very interesting trails which lead to sandy
beaches and flysch ridges.
