Why it is worth your time
Čavnovka crowns Promina, the mountain rising over Drniš in the Šibenik hinterland. Marked trails climb through maquis and bare stone to a summit where inland Dalmatia spreads out beneath you, from the long wall of Dinara to a distant glint of the sea. Up here it is just wind, rock and your own footsteps.
Croatia Atlas tip
In high summer start at first light, before the sun beats down on the karst.
