Safe trails, developed by Prehnit d.o.o., is a mobile safety app for hikers and outdoor visitors in Croatia. It offers the country's official interactive registry of marked hiking paths, along with GPS positioning, offline map downloads, and tools for planning and saving custom routes. Key elements include trail length, elevation gain, estimated travel time, and integration with HGSS and HPS data. The app targets hikers, climbers, foresters, and tourists who need authoritative route information in remote terrain.

Safe trails acts as Croatia’s official hiking path registry

Claim: the app consolidates nationally verified trail data into a single mobile reference. It was developed by Prehnit d.o.o. in collaboration with the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS) and the Croatian Mountaineering Association (HPS), and it serves as the digital registry for marked routes. That institutional linkage gives the application an authoritative role for route identification and official trail records rather than relying on crowd-sourced entries.

Trail positions and difficulty data are grounded in field-verified spatial records

Claim: the map data is collected and checked in the field by official bodies, which supports more reliable route placement and difficulty assessments. The app provides measured values such as route length, elevation gain, and estimated travel time, allowing users to compare objective metrics when choosing a line across varied terrain.

The app supports offline navigation but requires device GPS for live positioning

Claim: maps and GPS data can be downloaded for use without cellular coverage, addressing navigation gaps in remote areas. The app also lists searchable points of interest, including

• mountain lodges and shelters
• peaks and climbing areas
• official trailheads

Designed for practical mountain use, with clear limits and user responsibility

Claim: the app targets hikers, climbers, hunters, foresters, and tourists and is intended to reduce rescue interventions by improving route choice and situational awareness. Users remain responsible for personal safety decisions and for ensuring that their use complies with applicable platform terms and local regulations; the app is an aid, not a substitute for field experience and personal preparedness.

Safe trails is a pragmatic reference for Croatian outdoor users

Safe trails is a well-situated choice for outdoor users who need an authoritative route reference supported by national institutions and praised by the local mountain community. Users benefit from institutional backing and community endorsement, but they must still apply standard mountain safety practices and confirm that their behaviour complies with applicable rules and regional regulations.
