THE DIVINE NATURE

Nature Park Biokovo

The Biokovo mountain is the second-highest in Croatia – perfect for lovers of wild, untouched nature.

To preserve the flora and animals, an area of the mountain has been designated as a natural reserve, which is surrounded by a wide range of hiking routes. Since it takes a lot of physical strength to climb the 1,762-meter peak of Sveti Jure, many people choose to travel over the mountains by automobile.

The magnificent skywalk, the newest feature of Biokovo Nature Park, is located about halfway down the single road that stretches through the mountain.Explore Makarska Riviera and discover many beautiful things that this amazing part of Croatia offers!
