About the route
This physically demanding hiking route passes through the challenging but stunning area of Mt. Biokovo. Named after the Church of St. Nicholas (Sv. Nikola), located on one of the Biokovo peaks, the route invites hikers to explore the spectacular landscapes and panoramic views of the surrounding canyons.
The beginning of the route is marked by the ascent to the pass near the Bride's Cliff (Nevistina stina), followed by a shorter descent, and then a longer climb towards the Church of St. Nicholas with stunning views of the surrounding Biokovo canyons and mountain peaks. Here you can stop, rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
The route returns to the starting point in Brela via the same route. This is an opportunity to re-experience all the challenges and pleasures of this trail offers on the way back.
The route is physically demanding, but gives hikers the chance to connect with nature and gain a deep sense of accomplishment as they conquer the peaks of Biokovo.
