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. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-30: Karlovac and Zadar mountain guide stations hold joint safety training Karlovac and Zadar mountain guide stations conducted a joint safety training with the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service, featuring lectures, drills and a rafting session, backed by the City of Karlovac. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/karlovac-and-zadar-mountain-guide-stations-hold-joint-safety-training ### 2026-07-29: Balkans Outdoor Clubs Announce Summer Hiking Events Mountaineering societies in Bosnia (Kuk) and Croatia (Jelinak) announced summer youth hiking camp (Aug 29‑30) and a night ascent to Kamešnica (Aug 1) with registration details and safety guidelines. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/balkans-outdoor-clubs-announce-summer-hiking-events --- Cite as: Balkans hiking and guide training.
