Bukovac (1290 m)

Bukovac is a beautiful, forested valley located in the northwestern part of Mount Biokovo. Situated between the mighty Šćirovac peak to the north and the Ovčja Pola viewpoint to the south, this location offers a perfect blend of untouched nature and mountain serenity.

Why visit Bukovac?
In contrast to the stark, barren karst typical of Biokovo, the path to Bukovac leads you through lush woodlands. Thanks to the deep shade, the hike remains pleasant even during the summer months.
Starting point: Gornja Brela
Hike duration: approx. 3 hours
Difficulty: moderate trail

"Bukovac" mountain hut
At an elevation of approximately 1,030 m, you will find a charming mountain hut. It is an ideal spot for a break or as a base for further exploration of Biokovo.

Note for visitors: overnight stays are possible by prior arrangement with the "Pozjata" mountaineering association from Brela.

Don't miss: Ovčja Pola viewpoint (1,262 m)
Just a 30-minute light walk from the mountain hut takes you to one of the most stunning views in Dalmatia. The Ovčja Pola viewpoint offers a "million-dollar view" of:

• the Makarska Riviera and Omiš
• the Central Dalmatian islands
• the imposing central massif of Mount Biokovo
