Summary/Abstract: Discussed in the paper is the work of the Zavižan branch of the Croatian Mountaineering Society and it is based on information which was found in the Samobor Museum, where it was stored. Presented are the facts about the founding, members and activities of the branch. The dates of the branch’s meetings and the reason for the cessation of its activities are given along with the commitment of the leadership of the branch to the resolution of the problem of the maintenance of the houses on Zavižan and in the Rožanski Kukovi ridges. Sveti Juraj is located on the way to Northern Velebit and Senjsko Bilo, and therefore the establishment of the branch was significant for the hikers who visited these regions because they were able to receive information about the condition of the trails and the house on Zavižan.
