✔ Misučajnica – sheltered pond, home to the native freshwater turtle species
✔ Ancient hackberry tree – nearly 10 m tall, with a trunk diameter of 4.6 m; a living witness to history
✔ King Béla IV legend – said to have planted this tree when fleeing Mongol (Tatar) invasion and seeking refuge on Krk

✔ St. Marek beach break – sea silence, 14th C church and archaeological traces overhead

Experience Nature, History & the Soul of the Island

Tohoraj takes your breath away—the view stretches across the island. From this vantage point Vrbnik looks like a painting, the fields below forming a vibrant mosaic of life.

Misučajnica, known for its pond and monumental hackberry tree, is also a protected ethnographic zone – a valuable remnant of traditional island life. It’s one of the last remaining natural habitats of the freshwater turtle on Krk.

Arriving at the monumental hackberry, you’ll naturally pause in silence. The trunk over 4 m wide and crown reaching 10 m testify to the resilience of nature. It's a protected natural monument, considered one of the island’s most special trees.

Here, guides share oral history—stories not found in guidebooks. Legend says King Béla IV planted this very tree while fleeing the Mongol invasion, symbolizing refuge and resilience.

The route continues to the ruins of Gradec—Frankopan’s first fortress. Amid those stones you almost feel the presence of past power. Knowledgeable guides bring Gradec’s rich history to life.

Finally, the trail leads to St. Marek bay—Krk's only sandy beach. Above it stands the ruins of a 12th/13th C St. Marek church. Here, archaeological finds include Roman fortress foundations, graves with jewelry and pottery, and submerged remains of a villa rustica. As you sit in that shade, the depth of time becomes palpable.

Ending the tour, a scenic coastal road returns you to Vrbnik—hearts full of memories, stories and photos to treasure.
