비오코보‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 산길

From Makarska I am on a dream road with great views of the sea all the way to Mostar in the interior - highly recommended!

Well portrayed by Tom Mas! Driving on this mountain road is an enormous challenge and requires mutual consideration!!! I think we were very lucky!

Very beautiful, well-paved road with very rare cars. It runs along the Biokovo natural park and its mountains, which extend towards the Adriatic Sea. There are no supply options on this road, but a few rare houses.

From the road, at the entrance to the Biokovo Natural Park, clear view of the mountains and the Cetina river canyon. The mountains of the nature park, which rise almost vertically from the Dalmatian coast, belong to the Dinaric Alps and are a wonderful playground for hikers who love wild spaces.

Here today the circular hiking trail starts

There is a legend among the people about the great love of a girl and a young man who were petrified by evil fate on Nevista. Nevista's rock is also a pass, once the only link between Primorje and Zabiokovlje, and a beautiful viewpoint. According to legend, a girl somewhere "from above", probably from Dalmatian Zagora, was supposed to get married in Primorje. The mother was against that love, and above all against her daughter marrying someone the family did not choose. Maybe it was a problem that the young man is from Primorac, that is, from a poor area!? Be that as it may, the mother sent her daughter off with the words: When she saw the sea, she must have been petrified! Despite these terrible words, the wedding procession set off, led by the groom and the bride on horseback, and not realizing the power of their mother's curse. However, when the merry company reached the top of the hill above Brel, the curse came true. Evidence of this is rocks in the shape of horses with newlyweds, cakes and water barrels made of clay. If you look carefully, you can see the bride's veil, which at that moment the wind took off her head, as well as the whole procession of the wedding guests who followed them, and today it is a little harder to see them if you don't look for them specifically, because the pine tree has been for decades quite grown up.

Survival Tips: -start early, directly when the park opens. The photos do not show the true car density! -Tyres: at least 28 - better 32 mm or gravel bike. The descent is a challenge: grooves, cracks, bad potholes; Distraction through grandiose views and shadows can quickly overlook danger spots like kl. Sandy or gravel spots, horse droppings that suddenly appear in curves.... -well-maintained disc brakes with decent "reserve". On the descent, they are practically in continuous operation. - Attention oncoming traffic 😱! The road is mostly single lane. The many cars, SUVs, minibuses are 'let loose' in the convoy and try, according to the 'journey to Jerusalem' principle, to get up so fast and so far that departing cars block the way... Then everyone has to agree that who resets until the next bulge. Conclusion: Spectacular - BUT dangerous meeting of different "motivations"! Take good care!
