THE ‘ZAVIŽAN’ BRANCH OF THE CROATIAN MOUNTAINEERING SOCIETY IN SVETI JURAJ (1928-1935)
MIRKO BELAVIĆ
Abstract
Discussed in the paper is the work of the Zavižan branch of the Croatian Mountaineering
Society and it is based on information which was found in the Samobor Museum, where it was stored.
Presented are the facts about the founding, members and activities of the branch. The dates
of the branch’s meetings and the reason for the cessation of its activities are given along with the
commitment of the leadership of the branch to the resolution of the problem of the maintenance
of the houses on Zavižan and in the Rožanski Kukovi ridges. Sveti Juraj is located on the way to
Northern Velebit and Senjsko Bilo, and therefore the establishment of the branch was significant
for the hikers who visited these regions because they were able to receive information about the
condition of the trails and the house on Zavižan.
