📍 Location and how to get there
The climbing area is located at the foot of Biokovo mountain and is easily recognizable by a large Croatian checkerboard (šahovnica) painted on the rock (directly above the "Šampion" restaurant).
You can reach the starting point by car or on foot by following the signs from Gornji Kričak (DVD Brela).
Detailed instructions from the starting point - DVD Brela:
Follow the asphalt road from DVD Brela towards the church of st. George (sv. Juraj).
At the church do not turn, but continue straight uphill on the macadam road.
After a short but steep climb (approx. 100 m), turn left (follow the signpost).
Continue along the flat and wide fire road. After about 1 km of walking through beautiful olive groves, you will reach the foot of the cliff.
