Croatia: Climbing Uverture
The bora wind was still blowing, but much less than yesterday, so we decided to do some climbing in the gorge, protected from the wind. When we unpacked our gear, I realised, that I forgot one climbing shoe, so I improvised with only one on a few simple routes. Later Tone saved me, as he just finished climbing and he lend me his. Thanks Tone! After a few easy pitches, we returned back to our apartment, where we had a short break before the walk to the coast. When we returned back, we just waited with a help of a few beers for a dinner. Cheers and Bon Appétit.

| Located at the edge of Večko Field, Večka Tower (Večka Kula) was built by Venetians in 16th century as a part of fortification system that protected Podvelebitski Channel from the Turks. Presumably the tower was attached to the village of Veče (Veche), which was located in the area of modern Seline and was first mentioned by written sources in year 1508. Aside from the historic information, no trace of the village survives today. |

| Reserves of rainwater collected during winter and spring had to last through the long dry summer until the first abundant autumn rains. Cisterns were built for storage of the precious water. Rainwater poured into the reservoir, conveyed by gutters from stable or barn roofs. Sometimes, natural flat rock faces were used as collecting surfaces. |
We finished the roundtrip along the educational trail "A short journey through the past" - Garmin Connect.
 |
| After a successful day we had a drink or two. |
