Klek mountain

Klek Mountain rises 1182 meters above sea level, featuring a 3-kilometer-long ridge with steep sides and a 200-meter rock face at the summit.

The rocky sections beneath Klek's peak served as the initial training grounds where Croatian mountaineers developed their climbing techniques and completed numerous first ascents.

Local tales describe Klek's summit as a meeting point for witches during storms, connecting the mountain to regional mythology and the identity of Ogulin.

The primary route to Klek begins in Bjelsko village, requiring a 50-minute forest trek to reach the mountain lodge before a 30-minute climb to the peak.

The mountain presents a natural stone formation resembling a sleeping giant when viewed from specific angles, with its distinct profile visible from considerable distances.
