The Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (Hrvatska gorska služba spašavanja - HGSS) is a volunteer, not-for-profit and public organisation. It is specialised in rescuing in mountains, on rock faces, in caves and other unapproachable places where rescuing requires application of special mountain-rescue skills and equipment.
HGSS is organized through 20 territorial units - teams. HGSS has 60 years of experience and achievements (over 5000 rescues, all of them successful, faultless and safe).
Croatian Mountain Rescue Service and its members do not charge their rescue missions. Rescue is free for any rescued person.
HGSS operations are stipulated by the Protection and Rescue Act (in Croatian) and the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service Act (in Croatian).
