Markings

Markings in Croatian mountains are quite standard: a red circle with a white dot in the centre. Sometimes, very thin trees are marked with two parallel red lines and a white line between them.

The mountaineering clubs look after the maintenance of the markings, usually those that have their lodge or hut in the mountain, the exception being the Velebit mountain path, which is looked after by PSH, the Mountain Climbing Federation of Croatia.

Mountains far from the climbing clubs, and especially those in which there are no huts, are sparsely marked. It should be added that occasionally careless trippers or shepherds damage or destroy signs at crossways and cut down the trees in mountain regions and so remove the markings.
