Because we get to know new and unfamiliar places, stories and customs. Because we love to see unspoiled natural beauty, pine woods, crystal clear sea, fisherman, conquer the peaks with views of the entire Zadar archipelago, mainland and Velebit Mountain. Experience the unique beauty of the island.
Lungomare (seafront) paths
are intended to widest circle of lovers of walking. They stretch along the coastline of the stream passing through many coves and centuries old pine woods. Other side of the island is connected with the village of Kukljica with easy hiking trails overlapping islands beautiful inland. One’s attention is especially drawn by the trails that run through olive groves and pine woods. More demanding hiking trails are intended exclusively for active hikers.

General information
More demanding hiker trails require hiking footwear, and hikers are obligated to carry water or juices especially during summer months. Do not, by any circumstances, demolish centuries old stone drywalls (MOCIRE). If by any chance some stones collapse, put it back where it belongs. If you have a chance to encounter any animal, act naturally, stay still and observe. Do not take impenetrable trails, many side roads and paths on the island are derelict and not usable. Toss you anchor and forget all your worries … In the shadows of pines and cypresses slowly breathe mild and clean air … Let your view get lost somewhere on the blue sea.
