A VIA FERRATA AND A SUSPENSION BRIDGE SOON TO BE BUILT ON MOUNT TREBEVIĆ

Thanks to the Trebević Outdoor Routes project, 44 kilometres of trails in Mount Trebević have been mapped and signposted. Five hiking routes and six walking/sightseeing routes now feature proper signposts, display boards and boxes for education and information about additional sites to explore. Route maps are also available digitally in a free mobile app called Trebević Outdoor Routes. The signposts and the app will allow for a pleasant and safe outdoor experience, make it easier for outdoor aficionados to get around the mountain, and provide them with useful information about interesting sites such as mountain lodges, restaurants, and accommodation facilities, and the number they should dial to reach Mountain Rescue Service if they need assistance. The final stage in constructing the new Via Ferrata in Bijele stijene featuring a 30-metre suspension bridge is currently underway, and it will be equally appealing to experienced climbers and first-timers.
