Dvigrad climbing crag near Kanfanar

Updated October 14, 2026.

Dvigrad is a climbing crag on the Ladićevi krugi cliffs near Korenići. Its south-facing limestone is most comfortable in the cooler months.

Precise footwork and finger strength matter on these grey, vertical and occasionally slightly overhanging walls. Climbers know Dvigrad for Malvazija, a hard route first free-climbed by the Italian climber Maurizio Zanolla, known as Manolo. There are lower-grade routes alongside the demanding lines, so the choice is not confined to elite climbers.

Members of the Muntravo climbing club from Rovinj equipped another 12 routes in 2024, bringing the total to 117.

The drive approaches through Kanfanar, past the ruins of medieval Dvigrad, towards the village of Korenići. From the parking area, allow about ten minutes on foot to the crag. The ruins stand lower down in the Lim valley, while the climbing is on the cliffs above it.

Choose late autumn, early spring or a sunny winter day for this south-facing crag. In summer, the limestone heats up and retains its warmth even after the walls fall into shade, making Dvigrad a less comfortable choice on hot days.
