One of the most beautiful places on the Dalmatian coast: the views are simply stunning, as you get to grasp Bol, all the Dalmatian islands from the Bays of Hvar to Korcula, Peljesac, Vis, Bisevo, Lastovo and even Mljet on a clear day while also having the background of the Biokovo mountains to the East. They say that you can see Italy on a very clear day but coming there every year for 30 years I havent been able to do so, so maybe this is more of a myth. Hints: While the view from the parking grounds are stunning in itself it is worth walking up a few minutes to the antenna station as you get views to Vis and the Western part of Hvar as well. The walk from Bol is fine on a cool day but you might feel frustrated when you arrive at a parking lot after walking for hours. Go on a clear day! The best days are when a little Bora wind is blowing and clearing up the haze. On hazy days you might just be able to see Bol and parts of Hvar. Go in the early morning or evening for nice lighting. The restaurant on top has been closed for a while but as of September 2019 there is a friendly little kiosk with drinks at the parking lot. The road from the main road is quite narrow but there is ample space to evade crossing cars. It is easily doable for every type of car. Just dont drive too fast and enjoy the beautiful forrest all around.

One of the main reasons we chose to visit Brač was to spend the good part of a day climbing Vidova Gora. It’s the highest point in the Adriatic and while it’s only 2,552 ft. Its 2,599 ft. prominence (height relative to the rest of the terrain) affords some remarkable views of Zlatni Rat, Bol, Hvar, and so much of the Adriatic Sea. We hiked directly from our hotel (Lifestyle Vitar) to the top and back for a 6.5 mile loop. We’re both pretty seasoned hikers but this definitely wasn’t the simplest of vacation hikes. Totally doable but bring a decent bit of water for the summer months and wear sturdy footwear/take your time coming down as there’s a lot of loose gravel. Really beautiful views from halfway up and you’re hiking along with pasture goats which was a unique experience. If you’re not into the hike, you’re able to drive up decently close to the summit and walk from there. Picnic tables at the top to enjoy a meal and take a breather. Highly recommended and one of our favorite parts of our trip to Croatia.

If you go to the island of Brac, visiting Vidova Gora is a must. The road leading there is charming in itself, but the view from the summit is particularly breathtaking. Just imagine: hundreds of meters below you. Below your feet lies Bol and Zlatni Rat, with the unique sight of the island of Hvar in the background. If you enjoy driving, the serpentine road starting from Nerezisca is especially enjoyable. Along the way, there is a parking lot and a junction leading to the Blaca Monastery. If you plan to descend, especially with children, bring water and food with you!

A Must-Visit Spot on the Island One of the most beautiful places on the island that is truly worth visiting. At the scooter rental, the owner informed us that only 2 out of 10 couples manage to ride up the hill with two people on one scooter. We were among the lucky ones who succeeded. Although we climbed the hill at around 20 km per hour—it’s a real steep incline—it was totally worth it! At the top, there is a perfect parking area with refreshments, and then it’s just a short walk to the summit. The view is a 10/10. 😍

This peak was one of the major reasons why we choose to take the car with the ferry, as it is quite a long and steep drive to the peak. We saw people cycling, but surely they were suffering a lot. The views are phenomenal, and you can clearly see Bol from here and its insanely clean water. There is a shop where you can buy ice cream or drinks from. Definitely include this when in Brac!

Easy walk from the parking area on a wide paved road. The view from the top is incredible! Lots of nice places to sit and enjoy the high vantage point over several islands and beyond. There is a cross and small 13th century church ruin to see as well. Very glad we made the trip! Toilets available near parking and a well-stocked kiosk for snacks, ice creams and drinks.
