Day 4 : Island of Brac – Vidoca Gora – Walking day

Day 7 : Biokovo mountain. At the foot of Bukovac
Another fantastic walk in the Biovoko mountains. The trail begins at the Brela Gornja Presentation Center. What follows is an easy climb along the educational trail Paths of Ancient Berulia, ending at the church of St. Nicholas at 550 m.a.s.l. through the forest and across a large talus cone, and then through the forested area of Bukovačka draga, owing its lush vegetation to water sources scattered right next to the hiking trail.
