The summer in Croatia’s Gorski Kotar County with the Lynx and Fox tour agency is as delightful as a raspberry or blueberry, clear as the blue surface of the lake on which rafts and kayaks glide, fresh as the shadowy forests of the valleys and peaks, chatty as a bubbling river, and mystical as the night that blends nature, music, and silence.

Designing tours in Gorski Kotar is an imaginative game of discovering its beauties in countless photogenic ways for both loyal and new visitors.

In addition to well-received and popular walks, the Lynx and Fox agency has prepared some fresh and exciting day and night adventures for this summer in Gorski Kotar.

Lynx and Fox tours are ideal family fun

Last year, a walk on the dried-up Lokvarsko Lake was the main attraction. This year, two tours will provide plenty of opportunities to enjoy its abundance of water.

The Lokvarsko Lake tour – hidden trails, swimming pools, and rafting will occur on July 7, August 4, and August 17. Lynx and Fox will take you on a long journey showcasing the beauties of the lake.

Additionally, they have teamed up with the Go Wild Adventures agency to offer the opportunity to experience the lake for the first time through a kayaking tour on July 27.

The delicious flavor of berries and the chance for some family fun will be the main attraction at up to three “berry” walks; the Hiking and Cocktails event on June 29 in Skrad, Blueberry Day on July 6 in Ravna Gora, and the “Bob Fest” on July 20 in Fužine.

For those who missed out on the berries, there will be another opportunity to enjoy sweet treats in Fužine on September 7, at the “Medun Fest.” As part of this event, Lynx and Fox agency is organizing a family tour of Preradović’s peak.

Lynx and Fox has planned nighttime experiences in addition to daytime ones. On August 3rd, make sure to take part in the Night Walk with musical surprises.

Night walks

This year, the protected forest Japlenški vrh will be transformed into an enchanted musical fairy tale, just like last year.

The nighttime forest environment and the beautiful sounds of young musicians playing a variety of classical instruments will create a truly unique experience.

Let’s also mention the tried-and-tested favorites that will once again attract the audience to other parts of Gorski Kotar.
