Day 1 & 2: Zagreb

We are on a tour to Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina. Day 1 we land on Zagreb and cannot resists to visit the boulder gym Fothia Velesajam. The accomodation for the night was right around the corner. At check in the room turned out to be in a sporting gym, which we can use! Confident enough we announced to the hotel that we are heading to the bouldering gym. There came the first warning; The boulder gym might be closed down.

On further inspection the boulder gym was indeed on Summer break. Makes sense, with 30+ degrees outside. The owners were busy though: cleaning all the holds and refreshing the routes.

It looks very promising, and the staff is very friendly! Inviting us back once they open again in August. Would love to take that offer :)

Holds are getting ready:

And they have a seperate 'kids area' in the back, about as big as the boulder gym in Riga.

Luckily we stayed inside a fitness gym, so we did some training instead of a bouldering session. Pumped up we got in our air conditioned room.

The next day we went to the Technical museum of Zagreb: a very nice visit! With fire department stuff, airplanes and Nikola Tesla on display. Great! After which we continued our trip to the Plitvice Lakes. Leaving exploring the city center and bouldering at Fothia for another visit.
