Why it is worth your time
The Perun ridge rises straight above the coast at Podstrana, southeast of Split, and carries the name of the old Slavic thunder god. The climb leads through maquis and over karst rock while the channel and its islands open up ever wider below you. On top you walk the edge between sea views and the Mosor highlands behind.
Croatia Atlas tip
Loveliest in late afternoon, when the low sun bathes the channel and the islands in warm light.
