This admirable mountain and its natural park is the main attraction of the central Dalmatian coast. The more than 1,700 meter high peaks are located very close to the sea and the cliffs are steep as in few other places in the world. From Biokovo’s rugged, steep cliffs, the coastal area is awaited to cool down during the summer heat and the mountain offers a range of natural attractions. In addition to pure natural environment, Biokovo offers fine walking and cycling paths, comfortable rest areas and interesting relics from the past. Many livestock breeders used to roam in the inaccessible mountain areas. From the Makarska Riviera coast and the Dalmatian mountains inland, today leads an appealing road to the Natural Park and the 1762 meter high summit Saint George.
What’s more?
Visiting the newly opened Biokovo Skywalk is an experience of a lifetime. At 1228 meters above sea level, the unique world attraction will surely attract many who want a unique experience of walking on clouds and a view from which – literally, for some, perhaps out of fear, it takes your breath away.
Skywalk is a new attraction in the southwestern part of the Biokovo Nature Park near Makarska. The lookout point in the Ravna Vlaška area is located 12 meters from the edge of the cliff above the abyss, with an area of about 40 square meters and is the first in Croatia, unique in Europe. A horseshoe-shaped walkway can be described as a walking surface on the edge of a cliff above the abyss.
The lookout point can be reached by the Biokovo road leading from the entrance reception of the Biokovo Nature Park, approximately 6 km east of Makarska, and the lookout point is located on the 13th km of the Biokovo road and next to the info center. Biokovo road leads to the highest Biokovo peak St George. It runs at an altitude of 1762 meters, which makes it the highest paved road in Croatia.
From this plateau there is an eight million kuna view to the open sea and islands, down into the abyss, and by nice weather you can see Italy. As part of the lookout, a geological column was built – a three-dimensional view of the cross-section of the rocks that formed the area of Biokovo from its inception until today with a geological table of time and a description of the age and type of rocks.
The steel-concrete construction gives it security, a glass floor and a fence an unimaginable feeling of freedom and awe.
Come and see with your own eyes, we promise a memory for life. Definitely!
