Climbing 'Ferata na Kleku' (Grade B) is a fantastic adventure located on Klek mountain in Croatia. As a Grade B via ferrata, it's considered moderately easy, making it accessible even for those with limited climbing experience, though a good head for heights and basic physical fitness are essential. The ascent involves navigating a fixed steel cable, iron rungs, and occasional ladders, providing a thrilling vertical journey. You gain elevation quickly, offering increasingly spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding forests and karst landscape. The exposure is exhilarating, but the continuous safety cable provides reassurance. Reaching the summit of Klek is incredibly rewarding, with vast vistas stretching far and wide. The return typically follows a well-marked hiking trail, often a different, less exposed route than the ferrata, which allows for a more relaxed descent back to the starting point or parking area. It's a memorable experience, combining the thrill of climbing with the beauty of nature.
