This was our first time hiking the Dinara mountain. We were accompanied by Antonia, guide from the Sibenik Outdoor Adventure team. We started the adventure at 6 am by driving to the city of Vrlika where we had breakfast. At 8 am we started the hike to Dinara from Mirkovic village. That day the northern wind was quite hard, with some snow, so we hiked the route which avoids being exposed to the wind as much as possible. Most of the hike is through the forrest and there are no cliffs or slippery arreas. After about 3 and a half hours we reached the shelter situated on 1500 m. It's a small shed which offers protection from wind/rain/snow. You could bring your sleeping bag and spend the night there. There is a fire place but it didn't work properly when we were there. We rested for about an hour in the shelter, ate and changed our wet clothes, and enjoyed the scenery of snowy Dinara. It took us about three hours of hiking down to reach our car below the mountain. The descent is not very steep and hiking poles help to save the knees. We enjoyed a lot this hike and we appreciated very much the guidance of experienced and cheerful Antonia. She told us a lot about the nature and mountaineering along the way and her cheerfulness made our hiking efforts easier. We are very grateful for this experience and hope to hike Dinara again in the summer. If you go in winter we would reccommend you to bring a warm waterproof jacket, good sturdy shoes, hiking poles, hat, sunglasses, gloves, addittional pair of socks and shirt, as well as water and some food.
