The Expedition
Phase 1: Acclimatisation
Arrival in Zagreb, here the team will spend a day adjusting to life in this friendly and historic city. From here there are options for acclimatisation walks in the nearby Medvednica nature Park.
Phase 2: Trek
There are two trekking options to choose from. Teams can either explore the lakes and waterfalls of the Plitvice Lakes National Park or, alternatively, teams can choose to trek through the alpine peaks of the Velebit Massif and the deep gorges of the forested Paklenica National Park.
Phase 3: Project
In this phase teams will assist in one of our environmental or community based projects, whether that is working in the bear sanctuary based in the village of Kuterovo or taking part in the programmes at the rescue centre for the griffon vulture and Eco-center, located on the island of Cres.
Phase 4: Culture & Review
Teams will either have the chance to step back in time through the streets of the city of Split, a UNESCO World Heritage Roman site. Or to explore the marble streets and city walls in Dubrovnik. Rafting down the Cetina river is an exhilarating and scenic option.
