Make sure to go there with clear weather otherwise there is nothing to see at the top. Trail is slippery when wet!

Istria's highest peak. A must for all active vacationers who don't just want to lie on the beach.

In good weather you have a very nice view and can see as far as Italy 🇮🇹.

The Vojak is the highest peak in the Učka Mountains and on Istria.

This tour always leads in the forest and is the nicer route. You can also hike up the mountain from the other side, but a little more difficult.

At just over 1,400m, it is the highest mountain in Istria. Can be climbed from Moscenicka Draga in a difficult hike. From the lookout tower on the top of Vojak you have a great view of the entire Kvarner Bay and Istria on a clear day.

The inscribed peaks that can be seen from the tower should be restored

Highest point in Istria, for those who don't just want to sunbathe ;-)
Quite difficult in high summer temperatures, but a good change for cloudier days with a good view. Not recommended when it rains.

The Vojak is 1401 meters high, the highest mountain on the Croatian peninsula of Istria.
The view from above is simply gorgeous on the islands of the Kvarner Bay, the islands of Cres and Krk as well as on the coastal towns of Opatija and Rijeka, even far into the Italian Alpine region in good weather.
Istria has much more to offer than just the sea, and that's obvious here!

Since 1911, this lookout tower, built by the Austrian Tourist Club, has stood at the summit. The summit mark of the Vojak can be found here: 1401 meters, Top of Istria.

Lost Place, the Ucka Hotel, which was abandoned in 2016 and has been vacant ever since. The area is located on the hiking trail to the Vojak and is freely accessible. The building is unlocked and has already been visited by many vandals. Nevertheless, the Yugoslavian history of the complex can be guessed at in some Derail. Search, find, marvel!

You really have a great view from the summit! In the morning you have the summit all to yourself. With a brisk step you hiked up from Liganj in a good 1:45 hours.

Great 360 degree panoramic view of Istria. From the island of Krk, Cres to Italy.

A good starting point for a tour on the Vojak is the Poklon Pass. The road to the Poklon Pass is paved and easily accessible (with navigation system to the restaurant Pansion Ucka). There are parking spaces available and the tour to Vojak is well marked. The path leads through a deciduous forest.

If you do not want to climb the Vojak on foot or by bike, you can drive almost to the summit by car. About 200 meters before the summit there is a parking lot. The road to the parking lot is also paved.

Defeated from the sea to the summit. 1400 meters in altitude, exhausting but also an experience

The Vojak really offers a magnificent view!
Only the Vojak (like the two places Vela Ucka and Mala Ucka behind it) already belongs to the Kvarner Bay and no longer to Istria.
