This series of switchbacks is the only direct way to hike up to the summit of Srđ from the old town region of Dubrovnik. While the snaking trail is a little monotonous, the views over the fortified town and Lokrum island grow with each step. Plus, at the end of each section, there's a metal sculpture to admire, which keeps things interesting. If you don't fancy hiking both up and down, there's always the option of the cable car.

Hiking

The walk to the fortress is awesome. Serpentine shaped and at the same time a way of the cross. Attention: Sturdy shoes recommended. At least sneakers. For gaiters there is also a gondola. Above you will be rewarded with a brilliant view. You can also see the fortress and the surrounding area of the former war zone. There is also a restaurant on the top.
