CaniHike lice Platka: a day for lovers of dogs, nature and active life

On the occasion of World Animal Protection Day, Platak will once again bring together lovers of dogs, nature and active life. The fifth edition of the event "CaniHike face of Platak" offers guided hiking tours with dogs, free professional photography with pets, educational content, humanitarian action and special gifts.

With the support of the Coordination Working Group for Animal Protection of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County, the program combines recreation and socializing with the promotion of a responsible attitude towards animals, and is intended for all generations and their four-legged friends.

A special memory of the day together on Platak is brought by the "Wow photo!" - a free professional photo shoot with your pet, after which visitors will be able to take the photo home.

At the promotional stand of the Rijeka Animal Protection Society, visitors will be able to learn more about the work of the dog shelter, adoption and volunteering opportunities, and support the care of its residents with a donation.

Three routes of varying difficulty have been prepared for participants of guided hiking with dogs:

• Snježnik – a longer route, about 9 km, with 350 m of ascent and approximately 3,5 to 4 hours of walking. Departure is at 10:00 am.
• Radeševo ​​Promenade – an easier route, about 7 km, with 250 m of ascent and approximately 2,5 hours of walking. Departure is at 10:30 am.
• Unpredictable – medium-demanding route, about 8,7 km, with 210 m of ascent and approximately 3 hours of walking. Departure is at 11:00 am.

All routes start and end at the RSRTC Platak parking lot, in front of the Sova Caffe Bar, where a gathering of participants will be organized and gift packages will be distributed. Gifts for participants were also prepared by Josera Croatia, a partner of the event.

All CaniHike participants will receive an educational leaflet "With Paws in PGŽ", with useful information about responsible dog ownership, excursions with pets, behavior in urban areas and providing first aid to pets. The youngest can also expect a picture book about the dog Flegija, which introduces them to a responsible attitude towards dogs through a cute story.
