Why it is worth your time
At the park entrance begins the narrow road that corkscrews up from the sea into a bare karst world. Every hairpin widens the view: first the rooftops of the riviera, then the islands, finally just rock and sky. Up top wait the glass Skywalk and the summit of Sveti Jure.
Croatia Atlas tip
Drive up early: the number of cars on the narrow road is limited, and visibility is clearest before the midday heat.
