Pomena is a small fishing village in the far west of the island of Mljet, about 30 kilometers from the neighboring towns of Sobra and five kilometers from Polace. The village actually has only about 50 inhabitants, but swells to several times its size during the holiday season due to the attractive ferry connections to and from Dubrovnik and the surrounding islands of Korcula, Hvar, and Brač, its proximity to the inland lakes in Mljet National Park, and a surprisingly wide range of restaurants, souvenir shops, and private accommodations. Nevertheless, the village has lost little of its relaxed and authentic fishing village feel. Source: https://www.lust-auf-kroatien.de/insel/pomena-winzige-hafenstadt-in-mljets-westen/

An old military bunker was allegedly built by the Jugoslav National Army JNA in 1969 as part of the Total National Defence Force to guard sea lanes along the Adriatic after the Soviet invasion of the Czech capital ending the Prague Spring. The bunker is super dark (even during the day) and a bit creepy, so having a flashlight is a must. There are several corridors and rooms inside and halls leading to the other side. If you go to the end of the hall and then turn left and go to the end of that hall you will find a way out that leads to the old (and still "functional"!) cannon. Try controlling it, everything still works and is pretty easy to move. It's really cool!

From here you can rent bicycles, e-bikes or even scooters. Scooter costs 290 kuna for 5 hours in 2022 plus fuel costs... But whatever, it's great fun to drive on the island.

At the bridge between the small and large lake there is a bicycle and canoe rental.

There is a small supermarket directly opposite the National Park ticket booth. Drive through the village for parking. At the end comes a large parking lot.

Small fishing village with marina. The place thrives on individual tourism and the smaller cruise ships. Cute, sleepy, ideal for slowing down.

The trail leads into the nature reserve from Pomena on stone steps through a forest. If you have climbed the highest point, open up in front of one of the "Little Sea". The views between the trees are outstanding. The last few meters to the merger between "Small Lake" and "Big Lake" you have to share with the mountain bikers, but is not a problem.

The "Small" and the "Big Lake" have different heights. They are connected by a brick channel. Due to the differences in altitude, the water flows from the Great Lake at a high flow rate into the Small Lake. This is an event for the bathers. They can be drifted from the Big Lake to the Little Lake like in an accelerator. Both lakes used to be freshwater lakes. After the monks built their monastery on the island in the Great Lake and found that they had to fight with mosquitoes and Malariamücken, they created a connection to the sea. The lakes have since been saltwater lakes and much warmer than the Mediterranean, which encloses the island of Mjlet.
