Dear pilgrims and friends of the Camino,
we invite you to continue the joint pilgrimage along the Camino Crikvenica Vinodol route, which will take place on Saturday, April 11, 2026, on the section from Jakov Polje (Krmpote) to Bribir, with a total length of 21.5 km.
Join us for another day filled with walking, fellowship, nature and spiritual experience.

Our journey begins in the morning with a gathering at the Church of St. James in Krmpote, one of two churches dedicated to this saint on the Camino Crikvenica Vinodol route – while the other is located at the very end of the path, in Jadranovo. It is this connection that gives this Camino additional symbolism of pilgrimage.
We will start the day with Holy Mass, asking for blessings for a safe and fulfilling walk. This is followed by a short socializing and refreshments in the Tilia tasting room, where participants will receive symbolic gifts – a bottle of water, a Crikvenica Vinodol leaflet and a souvenir as a keepsake.
After the blessing of all participants, we set off on a pilgrimage to Bribir. The path takes us through the picturesque landscape of Vinodol, where the first longer break will be at the Ledenica hillfort. There we will learn about the rich history of this region and hear an interesting legend about Kuga’s house, with the expert guidance of historian Antonija Mažuranić.
We continue our walk to Bribir, where we arrive in the afternoon for a well-deserved break with lunch and a tasting of local specialties in the old town center. In the pleasant atmosphere of Bribir, you will be able to taste traditional dishes such as Bribirski prisnac, a traditional Easter delicacy, and Crikvenička batuda – an indigenous “maneštra”, or spoon-fed dish – with a glass of drink and socializing with other pilgrims.
For those looking for additional content, a visit to the parish church of St. Peter and Paul and the Frankopan Routes Interpretation Center in the Turan Tower will further enrich the experience of this historic region. In the late afternoon, bus transportation back to Krmpot is provided.
