| On a clear day a hike to the peak will reward you with a thunderbolt of a different kind: an incredible view. Bol is laid out like Lego at your feet, with the Zlatni rat beach clearly in view. The green bird-like shape of Hvar island lies calmly in the brilliant blue sea, while in the opposite direction you can see the peaks of the Dinaric Alps on the mainland.
Vidova gora is an easy one-hour hike from Bol, he best maintained trail starting from the Loggia. You can also reach the peak from the other side from the main road between Nerežišća and Pražnica. Either way, there are many points of interest on the route, and your way is scented by wild sage, rosemary and other aromatic herbs. At the top there’s a konoba serving food and drink.
The best time to hike is in spring or autumn, when the sun is not too strong, or in the early morning before the heat of the day. It is possible to reach the peak by road, but if you are blessed with a full set of moving legs, we urge you to work up a good appetite and take the walk, it’s an invigorating experience in itself. |
