Itinerary description

[Spanish]
Esta ruta comienza en una pequeña población que se llama Glavas y que no tiene mas de 4 casas. El inicio está en donde hay una caseta azul donde también hay un pozo y una zona amplia para aparcar, aunque yo aparqué como unos 300 metros antes de llegar a el parking porque pensé que había llegado al final del camino.

Nada mas comenzar pasamos unas ruinas de un antiguo castillo y mas adelante un punto que marca los 1000 metros de altitud donde hay un pequeño chorro de agua donde podemos beber.

Tras unos 3 kilómetros y medio llegamos a una bifurcación con un cartel donde indica que podemos llegar a la cima por ambos caminos. Nosotros decidimos tomar el de la izquierda para luego bajar por el de la derecha, haciendo así un circulo completo. El cartel indica que se tarda lo mismo por ambos caminos aunque mi impresión es que el de la izquierda es un poco mas largo. Mirando en el GPS tras terminar la ruta vemos que de hecho si es un poco mas largo, concretamente 500 metros mas.

Siguiendo el camino de la izquierda llegamos a un pequeño cobertizo donde hay otro pozo y mas adelante al refugio Drago Grubac donde tenemos otro pozo de agua.
Tendremos que avanzar aún mas hasta que lleguemos al último circo donde a lo lejos ya distinguiremos la caseta roja de la cima del Dinara. Aun nos quedara un ultimo esfuerzo hasta poder hacer cumbre.

Esta ruta es muy sencilla aunque bien larga. Ademas de esto durante prácticamente todo el camino estás al descubierto expuesto al sol con lo que o bien empezamos a andar bien pronto o nos protegemos bien del sol con gorra y protector solar.

Tras llegar de nuevo al parking abrimos el pozo y con el cubo sacamos agua para refrescarnos del fuerte calor.

This route starts in the little village of Glavas which has barely 4 houses. The start is where there is a blue house and also a water well. Here there is ample space to park our car. I actually parked my car about 300 meters before arriving here because I thought the gravel road had already ended.

As soon as we start walking we encounter some ruins of a very old castle. A bit further we find a spot that says 1000 meters of altitude where there is a pipe with running water.

After 3 kilometres and a half we arrive at a fork with a signpost that says we can get to the summit by following either of the two paths. We decided to take the left one to go up and then come back through the other one, making this way a circle.
The signpost says it takes the same amount of time no matter which way you go, although I have the impression that the left one is a bit longer. Having a look at the GPS track after finishing the route we saw that in fact the left one is 500 meters longer.

We follow the left one to go up. After walking for a bit we get to a small house that looks for the stock where there is also another water well. Continuing a bit further we arrive at the Drago Grubac hut where again there is yet another water well.
We will need to keep walking a bit more until we get to an area where the summit is finally on the view. We can see the small red hut at the Dinara summit far in the distance. We make the last effort and soon we arrive at the summit.

We go all the way down from the summit and when we arrive at the parking we get some fresh water from the water well to refresh ourselves and combat the strong heat.

This route is easy although quite long. In addition to this, during pretty much all the hike you are exposed to the sun. I recommend either start walking early or get good protection for the sun.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Man sollte sie nicht unterschätzen, auch wenn die Dinara auf "nur" 1.800 Metern liegt. Die Ausblicke sind grandios!
