ドゥブロヴニクネレトヴァでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

ロクルム島中心部には、11世紀にまで遡る歴史的な場所であるかつてのベネディクト会修道院がそびえ立っています。 印象的な遺跡は、ロマネスク様式とゴシック様式の建築様式にルネサンスの要素を組み合わせています。17世紀に修道院は地震後に放棄されましたが、19世紀にハプスブルク家のフェルディナント・マクシミリアン大公によって購入されました。彼はここに異国風の庭園を持つ夏の離宮を造り、この地に新たな命を吹き込みました。

ポルトチュのボートハーバーは、ドゥブロヴニク沖の約1,600メートル、幅約500メートルのロクルム島への入り口となっています。この島へ最も便利にアクセスするには、自然保護区の公式シャトルボートを利用するのが一番です。Zrinski号とSkala号の船がドゥブロヴニクとロクルム間を定期的に往復しており、所要時間は約15分から20分です。 重要なのは、必ず最後のボートに乗ることです。通常、最終便は午後6時頃に出発します。なぜなら、島には宿泊施設がないからです。

The Old Town of Korčula lies on a promontory protected by a 14th-century city fortification with four defensive towers and a city wall. Unfortunately, the wall no longer stands at its full height today. In many places, the wall was demolished to a height of approximately 4 meters or less, and the stones were reused elsewhere in the Old Town. The towers also have names: - Small Prince's Tower (1449), - Large Prince's Tower (1483), - Veliki Revelin Tower (14th century) with the Land Gate, and - Tower of the Western Sea Gate (with a Latin inscription from 1592), which indicates that Korčula was founded after the fall of Troy.

Great stretch of coastline 👍

Unobstructed view of the offshore island

There are few fortifications in Europe as well preserved as the city walls of Korčula. The city on the island of the same name was once a bone of contention between the two maritime powers, Genoa and Venice. Even later, the walls protected the inhabitants from attacks by hostile powers. That the walls have survived the conflicts of the past centuries is still clearly visible today. It's no wonder the ramparts are a tourist attraction today.

Anyone who takes a stroll around Korčula's Old Town will always have Korčula's city walls in view. A promenade runs along the outer walls around the peninsula, following the route of the former battlements of the soldiers who defended the city. Notable features include several round towers, where historic cannons, once stationed here for defense against naval enemies, can still be seen today. The path is lined with numerous restaurants and cafés, located directly on or even on the city walls, creating a very special atmosphere.
