Summer Dreams [Part 3/3]: Vidova Gora and Western Brac

We will finish up the Brac travel series with some of the most beautiful locations visited. First up is Vidova Gora, the highest peak of the island, as well as any island in Croatia. It was a beautiful drive up there, and the sights were wonderful. From high up you really get a sense of the island and the surroundings. Later on the journey took a turn west to the small village Lozisca, and ended in a small fishing town on the west coast Milna. I hope you will enjoy the final part from Brac. I will say that it was probably the best summer vacation I have ever had and I hope the images will do the experience justice.

This is a three-part travel series. Other Parts include:

Part 1: Exploring the Island Brac
Part 2: From North to South - Exploring Supetar and Bol
Part 3: Vidova Gora and Western Brac

Visiting Vidova Gora on Brac

Vidova Gora is the highest mountain and one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Adriatic Sea. It has a shape of an elongated karst ridge stretching along the southern coast of Brac. The southern face descends steeply, with cliffs sloping into the sea towards the town of Bol. The northern face is a karst highland mild slope of some ten kilometres of width. This highland is for the most part covered with scarce shrubland and Mediterranean macchia and the area of Knezevravni under Vidova Gora is populated with black pinewood.

This vast highland covers more than half of the island, it is entirely deserted and uninhabited, and all larger settlements, except for Nerezisce, that I have shown you in part one, are located on the coast. Globally, Brac is known for its white marble excavated and processed on several locations on the island.

The main access to Vidova Gora is a paved road beginning at the Knezevravan highland, close to Nerezisce. The highest peak of Brac features a 12-meter-high monumental cross made of Brac stone, a telecommunication structure and tavern �Vladimir Nazor�. The surrounding area is an old well-known place displaying the remains of a double defence wall that suggest there once was an old Illyrian fortress on this very site. The view from the top reveals the southern coast of the island with its green belt surrounding Bol. The sight of beach Zlatni Rat is particularly alluring; a narrow sand cape penetrating sharply some 600 meters into the big blue.

Lozisca

Lozisca is located on the west side of Brac, 2 km from the coast. Dominant building is the Parish Church of St. John and Paul. This is a typical Dalmatian place with its recognizable architecture. There is not much to do here, except park your car on the opposite side of this village and take in the beauty. The church is the most dominant feature of the island, but all the houses that surround it definitively add to the charm.

Ending the day in Milna

Milna is located on the western part of the island Brac. It is famous by its marvelous bay, in which the ships of the emperor Diocletian have found a secure harbor in the time of the building of his palace in Split. Today there is a marina with several berths, modern equipped for a secure stay and the service of yachtsmen from the whole world.

The crystal clear sea, domestic healthy food, ideal condition for diving, sailing, fishing, and a fast connection to the land are the main means of the arrival of guests to Milna, which is built in a typically Mediterranean style with a baroque church finished in 1783. Milna is known for the Chakavian dialect being spoken here, the only part of the island where this is the case. The town was attacked during the Battle of the Dalmatian channels on November 14th 1991, the only settlement on Brac that has been directly attacked during the Croatian War of Independence.

In conclusion, Brac truly charmed me. It showed me how much beauty there can be on an island, and how much you can do within 7 days and still feel relaxed, get your swim on and relax on the beach. It will be a measure for future summer dreams for sure...

Relaxing on the river Neretva [Through My Lens Nr. 158]

I have shown you Glavaticevo on this blog before. It's a small village located in the slopes of mountain Prenj and right along the wild river Neretva. There you can find this small, river side, restaurant called "Vrelo Biser" (translated "Pearl Spring"). It can be found after entering Glavaticevo after crossing a bridge that leads out of the village. Right after the bridge, you have to turn left, drive to a small gate to the parking spot. This place is run by a married couple and while it doesn't offer much food, what's there is well worth eating.

Thank you all for joining me in another week of "Through My Lens". I am looking forward to your submissions this week. I hope you will have a good one!

Summer Dreams [Part 2/3]: North to South on Brac

A drive through the island Brac can bring through many wondrous sights and places. As I said in part one of this travel series, it doesn't take too long to get from one side of the island to the other. So when you take the route from north to south you truly get to see many things. In part one I showed you some sights from the inner island and in this part I will share sights from the northern coastline, where the capital city Supetar is located, as well as the calming sea on the southern side, with the town Bol and the famous beach Zlatni rat. So come tag along!

This is a three-part travel series. Other Parts include:

Part 1: Exploring the Island Brac
Part 2: From North to South - Exploring Supetar and Bol
Part 3: Vidova Gora and Western Brac

Beaches in the North

The north side of the island has many little towns and places dotted along the coastline. I will say that the water on the south side is much cleaner because of the water streaming regularly through the canal between Brac and the island Hvar. Lovrecina Bay is the most prominent beach on the north side, which during my visit was very crowded and dirty.  But if you drive around for a bit you can find secluded spots and beaches that are clean and less busy.

Visiting Supetar

Supetar is the largest town on Brac. The Parish church of St. Peter stands on the side of an old chapel which was restored in 1773. The present settlement of Supetar was founded in the 16th century when people living in Nerezisca, about 8 kilometres (5 miles) inland, began to use it as their harbor. The town's main period of development occurred during the 18th and 19th centuries when Supetar took over from Nerezisca as the administrative center of the island.

There is a lot of night activity here during the summer so you can easily spend a nice evening here. Many great restaurants are located on the main walking lane in the harbor. At night the lights of the town are reflected in the Adriatic Sea. Next to the old town is a ferry station from which the Jadrolinija company regularly operates ferry-boats to Split on the mainland.

Exploring the town Bol

Bol is a beautiful place. From the most prominent beach on the Adriatic coastline in Croatia to the wonderful old town, no matter from which side you explore Bol you will be satisfied. Bol (its name is derived from the Latin word "vallum") is renowned for its most popular beach, the Zlatni Rat ("Golden cape"). It is a promontory composed mostly of pebble rock that visibly shifts with the tidal movement. The Adriatic Sea water at Zlatni Rat is clear and somewhat cold, due to the strong current of the strait it is situated in. There is a beach on either side of the horn. Bol itself is a popular tourist destination, known for its harborside bars and restaurants, and wind surfing conditions.
