Obzova

Obzova is the highest point on Krk Island, rising to 569 meters above sea level with a stone cairn at its summit. The surroundings feature rocky karst terrain with clear markers showing the location.

The mountain shows traces of ancient human use, with old livestock watering spots indicating the importance of herding in this region. This infrastructure allowed people to move animals across the rocky terrain.

The walking paths around the summit have connected villages on Krk Island for generations and were once the main routes for everyday life. These trails remain part of how locals move through and experience their island.

The climb to the summit is a moderate hike that can be reached from several points on the island, with varying duration depending on your route. Sturdy shoes and water supplies are important since the terrain is exposed and very dry.

The summit area contains natural hollows that fill with rainwater and act like small oases in the dry landscape. These temporary water sources were historically important for travelers and herders using the mountain paths.
