Our jeep safari begins with gathering in the morning at 9:00 am on the Split waterfront. We continue along the main road through Solin and climb up the mountain Kozjak. The route actually starts in the east in village Ninčevići with good and wide road that goes under the stone ridge some 15-20 m from the top and continues on unpaved paths. As we drive along the road, you will see the Italian bunkers, where the Italians had fortified positions on the former border of the NDH and Italy, which allowed them monitoring of the roads leading through Kozjak and Blace towards Zagora.
We continue to the eastern tip of Kozjak with the church of St. Jure belonging to the Solin parish. This will be our first short stop – viewpoint from which you have panoramic view on city Split and you can take great pictures.
Next, we descend to the town of Blace where will make shortstop in front of the “dogs” pit. Driving further, we pass Blace and proceed to other viewpoint located on the cliff. There is the church of St. Luke. From the cliffs, there is a fantastic view from one side on city Split, the islands and the surrounding area, while the other side shows the cruelty of the mountains of the Dalmatian hinterland, Dinara, Svilaja and Kamešnica.
Then we continue to the village Vučevica that reflects the hard life of farmers through various vineyards, wells and stone houses. There is also important shrine of St. Ante.
Shortly we continue our jeep safari and reach the Eco-ethno village Škopljanci where we dine and taste the local specialties – traditional dishes.
