One Man and His Dog: Running the 'Love Path' near Crikvenica

June 1, 2019 - The athletic man and dog team from Outdoors Croatia are back, this month running the Love Path near Crikvenica - stunning as usual!

There are many different ways to promote tourism in Croatia, but one of my favourite is the approach taken by the adventure tourism team at Outdoors Croatia.

Like many others, I came across them first during that incredible run through virgin snow at Plitvice Lakes a few years ago - see below.
