Itinerary description

Beautiful hike from Baška Voda to the summit of Śčirovac (elevation of 1619 m). The hike is quite short but otherwise really demanding. The elevation itself (literally starting at zero altitude), as well as rough and rocky terrain, scorching sun and oppressive heat, really add a lot to the overall difficulty. But the highlands of Biokovo Nature Park are really worth the effort. Be sure to take enough water with you.
