Balkans hiking and guide training

Overview

In late July 2026, outdoor clubs in the Balkans publicized a series of summer hiking activities. The Mountaineering Society Kuk in Bosnia‑Herzegovina opened registration for a two‑day camp for school‑age children at Bučićka Ravan, featuring tent‑assembly lessons, rope climbing, workshops, meals and a night hike. Simultaneously, the Mountaineering Society Jelinak organized a traditional night ascent of Kamešnica in Croatia, with participants gathering for a midday briefing, a summit attempt before sunset, and a post‑hike barbecue.

The following day, Croatian mountain guide stations in Karlovac and Zadar held a joint safety‑training exercise. The program, supported by the City of Karlovac and the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, combined lectures, practical drills, scenario analysis and a rafting session to sharpen risk‑identification, decision‑making and group‑management skills. Organisers emphasized continuous professional development for guides and the partnership’s role in enhancing hiker safety and promoting regional natural‑tourism potential.
