2,000 People Ready for Škraping on Pašman!

Are you ready for Škraping?

As eZadar writes on the 2nd of March, 2018, despite adverse weather conditions battering most of Croatia recently, neither snow nor ice has managed put any strain on the energy of about two thousand recreationalists who are preparing to enter and attempt to win the island of Pašman's traditional Škraping on Saturday.

Škraping, which takes place on the island annually and has been attracting people from all over the world for the past eleven years, also has some worth in a touristic sense. Not only did Pašman brand Škraping, but the entire island is ''done up'' purely for the unusual recreational event, and just how much photography and video is shared countless times across various social media networks acts as a great advertisement for tourism on Pašman, doesn't even have to be mentioned.

Škraping's 2018 news is the introduction of a new recreational trail of about 6 km in length, intended for children and adults who want to spend Škraping pleasantly walking through the island's abundant nature.

The main theme of the week is healthy sports nutrition, which, along with physical activity, is the most important element of overall healthy living. As part of promoting a healthy diet and in line with this year's Škraping theme, gourmet expert Veljko Barbieri will prepare top quality delicacies together alongside local caterers.
