Dvigrad

Dvigrad – another discovery of mysterious Maurizio Zanolla Manolo – the Italian master of vertical climbing from the 80’s. An excellent quality of rock – perfect grey compact limestone, a beautiful landscape, in the vicinity to the sea, the famous medieval castle of Dvigrad just near,… are more than enough reasons to give a visit to this historical crag in the middle of Istria.

From the Pula – Buje highway take the exit Rovinj/Kanfanar and drive till the small city Kanfanar. Just on the start of it turn left direction Dvigrad. Drive for 5 kilometers passing the medieval castle of Dvigrad then turn right driving through the village of Korenići for 1,2 kilometer and park on your left. From the parking lot take the path going to the right for 10 minutes to reach this special crag.

The wall of Dvigrad is facing south so it’s best season is from late autumn till the beginning of spring, the best days being in winter. In summer the wall gets some shade after 4 PM but the rock still remains warm. Be aware of snakes during the warmer months!

The rock in Dvigrad is the best grey compact limestone you can ever imagine. It is very solid and it offers a nice variety of holds: from cracks, to pockets and edges.
