Kalnik
A special charm of this climbing place is its location - it is situated inside the medieval remains of the Kalnik castle
Access
Follow the sign - posts from the center of Krizevci to the mountain hut (asphalt road). The distance is about 18 k. (The distance between Zagreb and Krizevci is 61 km).
Rock, Routes
The hill is rather rocky and there are possibilities for new routes. White and grey limestone, rather sharp at some places. All the names are written. The height of the rock is from 10 - 50 m. Zarko Kalicanin is author of most routes on Kalnik.
Optimal Season
Spring, autumn, even winter. Summers are too hot.
Overnight accommodation
You can camp on the meadow under the ruins and there is also a little cave (there is water at the car park). Another possibility is the mountain hut.
