Whether you’re in the mood for riding a zipline over the massive Cetina canyon, rafting or kayaking in the nearby lakes and streams, or free-climbing the magnificent Mirabela and Fortica cliffs, you’ll have a blast here! And the absolute standouts here must be the superb mountain biking routes, with numerous thrilling trails nestled between the sea and the mountains. Hop on your bike and experience everything Dalmatia’s rocks and gravel have to offer!
