The island of Krk, known for its rich Mediterranean flora, offers a unique experience for nature and medicinal plant lovers: a visit to the Helichrysum plantations.
Helichrysum: The Gold of the Mediterranean
Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) thrives in the dry, rocky regions of the Mediterranean, including the island of Krk. Its small, golden-yellow flowers emit a refined scent reminiscent of honey, caramel, and fresh hay. Traditionally, Helichrysum was used to relieve ailments such as bronchitis, asthma, burns, headaches, and skin conditions. Modern research has confirmed its anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and antimicrobial properties, making it an essential ingredient in the cosmetics industry and aromatherapy.
Visiting the Helichrysum Fields on Krk
In the north of Krk, near the village of Vrh, lies a Helichrysum plantation run by Monika Kovač and Nives Matić. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the endless fields of Helichrysum and learn about the cultivation and distillation processes of this precious plant. The plantation offers guided tours, including visits to the fields and distillery, with expert explanations available in Croatian and English. Reservations are required in advance.
A Sensory Experience Like No Other
Visiting the Helichrysum fields on Krk is a perfect opportunity to relax in nature, discover traditional cultivation methods, and indulge in the unique scents and landscapes.
