Itinerary description

Well marked trail. Quite varied views and surfaces - villages, forests, fields, karst, rocky coastlines. Multiple opportunities for swim breaks along the way, but I would not recommend walking in high summer.
More info at caminocroatia.com

This section of the route is mostly macadam, some asphalt and some forest trails. Start and end point are easily reached by bus. Pretty flat and easy going most of the way, difficulty is subjective, mostly due to distance. Bring plenty of water, there are not too many shops along the way and no water fountains that I saw.

A couple of bars, restaurants and bakeries here, if you need sustenance for the final push. This is the only place where the signage was a bit off, stick to the gps.
