Parachuting,
paragliding or balloon flights over an incredibly diverse
landscape in good weather conditions continue to attract an ever
increasing number of flying enthusiasts to Croatia.
A combination of mountains by the sea and the sun creates first
class flying conditions, with the islands being by no means any
less attractive. Those who come to enjoy a flying experience are
not restricted to a single location. The mountains that run down
the length of the coast are simply tailor-made for cross-country
flights, for spending hours in the air, with vistas of the
coast, the sea and the islands - an unadulterated adventure
voyage under the power of the wind!
In contrast to the predominantly bare mountains on the littoral
side, the mountains and vales of continental Croatia are
blanketed in a wealth of greenery and forests. There are several
sport airfields with a long tradition in glider flying, while
Hrvatsko zagorje with its undulating landscape and its numerous
burghs and castles, and the wide plains of Slavonia, are
favourite destinations for balloonists. Beauty and diversity of
landscapes is what makes recreational flying an enjoyment that
is difficult to surpass. |

Croatian fliers and parachutists are
organized within clubs and private flying schools. They run
schools and courses, organize tours and participate in
international competitions. They are also the best source of
useful information - how to register flights, how to obtain a
permit, about weather conditions and any specific conditions
existing in individual flying zones.
