Beli and the Tramuntana Forest: The Enchanting North of Cres

From lush forests and majestic griffon vultures to the charming village of Beli, Tramuntana promises an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

The tour begins in the picturesque village of Beli, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich biodiversity. We walk at a leisurely pace through the dense Tramuntana Forest, where every step reveals the unique flora and fauna of the island. Along the way, you will pass the abandoned hamlet of Frantin and have the opportunity to visit a forest labyrinth hidden among the trees.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to the Beli Visitor Centre and Griffon Vulture Rescue Centre. These magnificent birds, which nest on the sea cliffs surrounding Beli, are a rare and remarkable sight. The centre is dedicated to their protection and conservation, offering a unique opportunity to learn about their habitat, behaviour, and the efforts being made to preserve this endangered species.

After exploring the forest and visiting the centre, enjoy a delicious lunch at the restaurant of Pension Tramontana.

NOTE – Easier Tour Option:
For a less demanding experience, the forest hike can be replaced with a walk through the village and an easy panoramic stroll to the Griffon Vulture Rescue Centre. This option is particularly suitable during the summer months and warmer weather.
