Prozor from Arapovac
- Dato:
- 10.07.2024
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 2:00t
- Distanse:
- 2,4km
We were up for a short hike, given the quite hot weather. From Arapovac, we made our way up to Prozor, mostly without any trail. To get back to Arapovac, we chose another route, also (partly) without any (proper) trail. Hiking in those parts, which are covered by some older forest, was nice and without challenges; hiking through newer forest, however, was challenging due to the extra-dense vegetation! :-)

As a nice early evening program, we made a detour to see the caves of Barać. After parking at the parking lot, we walked into the "cave area" and got thoroughly impressed by the amount of effort that someone had put into setting up everything and making the whole area nice! :-) Since none else was about to take a tour, we eventually, after a bit of waiting, got a tour of the upper cave just for the four of us -- that was nice (we were told that at other times, some groups would be as large as 50, which clearly sounded too large for this cave). Our tour guide showed us around in the cave and gave us ample time to shoot our photos (since photographing was only allowed without flash, it usually took a few tries before one photo came out reasonably). After visiting the cave, we returned >>>

After one (very nice!) day of in and around Sveta Nedjelja, including a visit to the impressive caves, high about the village, we got back onto our bikes. The plan had been made already in Split, when we informed ourselves about cycling on Hvar, and received a map, which very clearly described a round, continuing from Sveta Nedjelja along the southern shore of island Hvar further towards the west, all the way to the settlement of Hvar. After some short investigation, also asking some locals, it quickly became clear that there was absolutely no way to continue cycling into the given direction (there simply was no road at all, not even a gravel road). Thus, we had no other choice than to go back the way which he had taken to Sveta Nedjelja two days ago, including the tunnel! We quickly got >>>

We had taken the ferry from Split to Starigrad on Hvar (just taking our bikes with us) and the first thing we did on Hvar was to actually visit Starigrad, not far from where the ferry stops. Starigrad has a nice harbor and and old town which is clearly worth a visit! In Split, we had informed ourselves about biking opportunities on Hvar and we were motivated by a map that outlined a nice biking path around the island. Accordingly, it was our plan to follow this route and thus we started from Starigrad, heading eastwards. The map told that there should be a nice connection to the east a bit north of the main road. Finding this connection, we had to understand that it was not, as assumed, a paved road, but a "gravel" road with all-too-large rocks all over the path, making it almost >>>
