The house

A simple old stone-and-wood house at 1200 m. Wood stove, shared attic rooms with proper beds, one long table, and a fire circle outside where every evening ends. Nothing fancy — warm, quiet, and yours for the week.

Signal & screens

There is signal and a good connection up here — we just try to stay unplugged as much as possible. The mountain makes that part easy.

Sleeping

The house is shared and everyone gets their own bed — unless you request a double one to share. Some of us will snore; we bring ear plugs, and there is enough time during the day for naps.

Wild neighbours

At 1200 m, surrounded by nature only, expect bugs — flies, wasps, bees, crickets and, rarely, snakes. No snake has ever bitten anyone here, but I like to point it out.

The food

Cooked for us, from the village

This time we have a private cook: Tamara. She will make organic, delicious homemade meals for us all week — and she trains with us and is part of the team.

Most of the food comes from the village right below us: fresh eggs, milk, cheese, vegetables.

Vegan and vegetarian meals are no problem either. Please don't forget to fill in the form when you book — she is already preparing the menu for us.

Before you come

What to pack

Boxing gloves & wraps
Comfortable trainers for training
Hiking boots (high ankle if possible) & flip-flops
At least 1 long hiking pants
Swimwear & beach towel
Hat & sunglasses
Small backpack for day trips
Comfortable training clothes
Warm layer & light jacket
Pyjama & water bottle

Pack enough clothes for training — we have only one washing machine service during the camp. Hand-washed clothes dry fast in the mountain air.

Getting here

From Split to the mountain

Fly into Split airport. From there you have a few options to reach the city, and on the day of the camp we pick everyone up together and drive the last 50 km to the house.

By Uber

25–30 min to Split city, approximately €25. Use the app — avoid unlicensed taxis at the airport.

Airport shuttle

Organised shuttle bus to the city centre, around €8. Departures are frequent — worth checking online.

Public bus 37

About €3, but runs less often. A good option if your flight timing matches.

Camp pickup

The week runs Saturday to Friday. On Saturday I pick everyone up with a van at a set location in Split, usually around 12:45 pm. From there we drive 50 km to the mountain house.

Luggage tips

If possible, bring checked luggage — we forge a real knife in the blacksmith workshop and it can't go in hand luggage.
Hand luggage only is fine too; just let us know so the blacksmith can plan something less sharp.
There is no washing machine at the house, but clothes washed by hand dry quickly in the mountain air. On day 4 we take a load to the village for a proper wash.

Last day

After breakfast we drive back to Split and Split airport, depending on your flight times. We may need to leave earlier if flights don't align.

Eight places. One week.
