In 2019, I managed to get acquainted with mountain running for the first time. To your vibig center on the trail "Goverla Trail Race", the route of which passes through the Ukrainian Carpathians and through such peaks as Petros and Hoverla. Although I really liked the mountain trails, after getting back to the mountain trail race I was no longer given and arrived satisfied with the various city trails. So this year we will decide to take part in each such mountain trail again.

While looking for an interesting mountain trail that could be visited, I stumbled upon a Croatian trail series, which is held in the vicinity of Rijeka and is called "Kvarner Trails". This series immediately interested me, especially the mountain trails of which it consists, so I decided to take a closer look at it and the trails that it includes.

The final rating of the series consists of the sum of points that participants received during each trail. The awarding of the best participants of the trailer series "Kvarner Trails" takes place after the end of the last trail of the series, namely "Malinska Trail".
