Expect dry and sunny weather with low humidity and colder nights.

Bring dry weather and rain clothing, including a cap or hat, gloves, cold-weather long-sleeve t-shirt (preferably wool), hiking pants, rain pants, and a rain jacket.

For reheating food, you will need LPG or alcohol/gasoline.

To find your way around, you must know how to read gpx maps and use a compass. For Hercules, Pegasus, and Orion a special physical map will be provided by the Organizer.

We know that lots of you hikers use walkie-talkies to talk to each other during the trail. For additional safety, all our checkpoints will have a PMR466 Motorola as well. We will have the public channel 3 (on PMR466 Motorola) so anyone who has any troubles can tune in and let us know what might be the problem.

This is in no way obligatory however, it does increase safety. If you don't have a walkie-talkie yet but would like to have one on HIGHLANDER Velebit.

On the trail and at checkpoints is our Medical Team, we are cooperating with Croatian Mountain Rescue Services (HGSS) BUT for your safety, all participants must bring a first aid kit.

We believe our participants love and cherish nature and all its beauty. We know you wouldn’t litter, so please bring a waste bag for your litter.

Littering on and around trails, checkpoints, and mountain lodges is forbidden. Litterers will be disqualified and banned from applying to any future HIGHLANDER events.

Dogs are welcome but must always stay on a leash. See the Rules for more info.
