Itinerary description

Land Art trail on Učka (and Ćićarija). It's a short(ish) circular hike, suitable for all ages. It's devised so that you come upon various forms of art in nature as you hike along. The art is either directly on the main path, or some distance off and designated by a hand symbol painted on a stone pointing you in the right direction. Every art piece is no more than a couple of minutes away from the main trail. Some of the art is officially named, some not.

The trail is well marked and color-coded. There are two entrances, one near Poklon and the other on the intersection towards Vojak (summit of Učka). We started at the 2nd entrance, first following the orange trail-fork, then green, then purple and finally the red trail will bring you back to the starting point. You can take the trail in reverse, of course.

When we came full circle, we went on a further 10 minutes to the Krog viewpoint (pink trail). On foggy days, you won't be seeing much, though.
