November 21, 2020 – While many kids are glued to their phones and other gadgets, the team from Outdoor Croatia offer a more natural way to spend a day – Velebit with kids. Stunning!
It has been a while since I checked out one of my favourite YouTube channels promoting Croatia, and it is great to see it going from strength to strength.
Longer-term followers of TCN might be familiar with the series of articles we did on the man and dog team from Outdoor Croatia, whose efforts are quite simply the best video promotion of The Great Outdoors in Croatia that exists on YouTube. I hope they are being supported and rewarded for their efforts.
I first came across the channel a few years ago when I came across this mesmerising winter run through virgin snow at Plitvice Lakes, a reminder that Croatia’s most famous national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site is very much a four-season destination. Since that video, I have toured some of the most beautiful nature spots in Croatia vicariously through the camera of the outdoors Croatia crew – by kayak, hiking, bike and running, all year round.
And in this era of social distancing and avoiding crowds, Croatia’s endless natural beauty and stunning open spaces are ever more attractive, providing a very different family experience for those who can leave their gadgets behind and go out to explore.
The latest episode from Outdoors Croatia was uploaded yesterday, entitled Velebit with Kids. Not a soul in sight for much of the day, and you would be hard pressed to find better views than this in the region.
We spent the holiday on Velebit, on Premužić’s path south of Alan and back along the path that goes along the ridge over Buljma, altogether a little more than five kilometres.
You can follow the latest from Outdoor Croatia on their YouTube channel.
