Vidova gora

Above the south coast of Brač rises Vidova gora, at 778 metres the highest peak of all the Adriatic islands. The views from the top – towards Zlatni rat, Hvar and Vis, or towards Split, the coast, Biokovo and Pelješac – are hard to put into words; they are best experienced in person, especially as the reward for a cycling or hiking climb. From Supetar the way to the summit leads through unspoilt, often deserted countryside, past olive groves, pine forests and countless dry-stone walls.
