This Čavle webcam shows Grobnik airfield live, on the wide Grobnik plain in the municipality of Čavle, just north of Rijeka. From the edge of the apron the camera looks across the airfield towards the hills and the mountains that rise behind it, so you can see the weather, the light and the clouds over the plain before you set off, whether you are flying, visiting the area or driving up towards Gorski kotar.
The Grobnik airfield webcam is mounted beside a hangar at Grobnik airfield. It looks over the concrete apron with its yellow markings, the windsock and the grass of the airfield, and beyond them to the wooded hills and the rocky mountain ridges that close the plain to the north and east. Grobnik is a sport airfield used for light aircraft and other flying activities, and the race track of the Grobnik Automotodrome lies close by on the same plain.
Čavle is a municipality of small villages spread across the Grobnik plain and the slopes around it, only a short drive from the centre of Rijeka. Above the plain stands the old town of Grobnik with its castle, and the main road and motorway from Rijeka towards Zagreb and Gorski kotar pass through the area. Because the plain lies between the sea and the mountains, the weather here can be quite different from the weather on the coast.
Live images are the quickest way to see what the day really looks like on the Grobnik plain: sunshine or cloud, fog in the morning, rain or snow, and how the light falls on the mountains. For pilots and visitors to the airfield, a quick look shows the general conditions before setting off, while drivers heading inland can see what the weather is like above Rijeka. For more live views nearby, see the Rijeka webcams in the city below, the Platak webcams at the ski centre in the mountains above, and the Delnice webcams in Gorski kotar, or browse all Primorje-Gorski Kotar webcams.
