Snježnik, Mountain peak in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, Croatia.
Snježnik is a limestone peak reaching 1506 meters, characterized by steep meadows and rocky ridges across its slopes. The mountain combines open alpine grasslands with exposed rock formations that offer wide views of the surrounding landscape.
For centuries, this mountain formed a key route connecting inland areas to the Adriatic coast through various passes. The pathways crossing the peak served as important communication links between different regions over many generations.
Local mountaineering associations maintain various marked trails around Snježnik, including the Branko Lončar Mountain Path network.
Marked trails depart from Platak and lead to the peak, with the Roman Path offering the most direct route to the summit. The routes are well marked and provide multiple starting points for visitors of varying experience levels.
The peak retains snow into late spring despite lying close to the Adriatic coast. These conditions allow rare mountain plants such as edelweiss to thrive on its slopes.
