LIFE ON MARS – VIA FERRATA

The Life on Mars trail has been expanded by Croatia's first coastal Via ferrata in a length of 100 m. Via Ferrata ferrata is intended for more advanced active athletes, who are to bring adequate equipment with them (gloves, a climbing harness, and a safety set - a shock absorber and a climbing helmet), and serves as a bypass over the sea, connecting Slana Bay on one side and Cape Sušac on the other side. Passing the trail, which stands at the height of around 1-2 metres above sea level, should take around 10-15 minutes. The trail is not considered to be challenging.

The coastal Via Ferrata is accessed from Slana Bay, by following a marked trail, 2 km from Ručica Beach in Metajna.

Ferrata connects the Life on Mars loop hiking trail, which up until now could have been crossed only by swimming a distance of 100 m.
