ENGLISH
Take the trail from the port of Boæava towards the cemetery. Continue from the cemetery
and between the dry stone walls and through the olive groves, first across the larger trail
for agricultural vehicles, which after about ten minutes changes into a village trail ascending slightly along the n. slopes of Mount Kapelica (135 m) until the pass is reached where
a telecommunication base station has been built. Cross the pass and proceed down to
Soline village. Remain shortly along the shores to reach the church, and from the church
onto a well-visible transmitter. Passing by it, cross the asphalted road and continue
between the dry stone walls down to a large beach (Sakarun Cove). Follow the beach to
the end to proceed on a macadam road next to the sea, around Cape Lopata, and further
on to the west along the sea to Polje hamlet. Again cross the asphalted road and go
down to the sea. Follow the coast to reach Veli rat. Cross the locality to reach the port
and the macadam road. Turn slightly left and up the asphalted road to reach the sea
(Slatine Cove). A few minutes after having left the cove, a macadam road branches from
the asphalt. It is possible to proceed on the asphalt to reach Veli Rat lighthouse (built in
1849) and further on the macadam to Most Cove, or along the macadam to the sea
(Suπica Cove) and from the cove l. along the magnificent pine tree-lined path to the lighthouse and further on to Most Cove.
Most Cove is called so for the narrow piece of land that connects Tisno and Okljuk. It
is an exceptionally interesting natural product of large grains of sand and enormous
deposits of dry sea grass creating extraordinarily interesting shapes that the human hand
would never have been able to create. Ii is worthwhile to stroll along the n. beach and
around Cape Suhi and the rough beach of ”ValaËin Æal”. Attention should be paid here to
the layers of rock in the shallows where nature has created very interesting shapes.

DUGI OTOK. On a sunny day in October our
journey started in the ferryboat port leaving
for the most distant island of the Zadar local
waters - Dugi otok. At the ferryboat’s
bypassing of the northwestern cape of the
island of Ugljan, a mountainous silhouette
of narrow and long land appeared on the
horizon. At first you think, ”This is just like
the Velebit”, only on the other side. This
Brbinj
association will be revoked many times during your stay on the island. Enjoying the afternoon sun on the ship’s deck, and
watching the islands of the archipelago, we asked ourselves how it would
have looked without these natural barriers. One prevents the penetration of
cold and continental air from the north and the other, the insular one that
protects the islands from the open sea, gives the region a Mediterranean
atmosphere with a marvellous archipelago experience.

Proceed from the port in Boæava to the church, and after having passed around 200 m go
l. into the fields. Cross the fields to reach an asphalted road turn r. on the asphalted road.
About 300 meters onwards there is an insignificant-looking branching to the l. which
brings to the olive groves, cross the groves and reach the coast. The constructed promenade takes the trail around St. Nedilja Cape and back to Boæava.
A JOURNEY NORTH. After having left the ferryboat in the early morning hours
at the landing in Brbinj, famous from ancient times for its Glagolithic priests,
vigilant guards of heritage, situated between the two protected coves of Jaz
and LuËina, we decided to turn north towards the part of the island with
beaches and coves. On the
way we passed Dragove,
an old island settlement on
a hilltop whose name is
mentioned in written documents from the 14th century. The restored parish
church of St. Leonard and
the cemetery stand on a
distinguished location
which offers a view of the
islets in front of and
behind Dumbovica. This
small place where time is
Dragove
measured only by your
footsteps has resisted successfully to the force of urbanization, has preserved
the traditional way of living allowing only a few new houses to emerge in its
narrow streets.
We noticed the same on passing through Soline, VeruniÊ and Veli Rat. That
imposing part of island nature attracts numerous visitors with its beauty. Small
localities are situated at the extreme northwestern part of the island, with
their fishing ports facing the open sea and used by the local fishermen in their
daily sea trips. The entire region of Δuna Cove connected with Pantera Cove
through a narrow canal is
known for its berths that
are traditionally used by
numerous seafarers looking for a safe anchorage
for the night.
We hurried on to the
most extreme point on the
island and Punta Bjanka
lighthouse at a height of
42 m, being the highest
lantern on the Adriatic,
and built in 1849, during
the Austro-Hungarian periVeli Rat
od. A twisting and narrow
asphalted road struggled its way through the pine forest while after every
bend we patiently expect contact with the sea. We soon noticed an extended
peak of a lighthouse and the sound of the breaking waves hitting the rocky
coast of the peninsula. The lighthouse area is prepared for guest accommodation. The small houses that remind us of Spanish architecture have been built
on properly premises decorated with flowers. In the lighthouse yard there is
the stone chapel of sv. Nikola (St. Nicholas), the patron of sailors. Outdoor
weddings are becoming more frequent in this romantic setting.
Upon our return we were full of expectations and visited the beach in Sakarun for which we had heard to be more beautiful than the famous Caribbean
beaches! They were certainly right. The sunrays falling vertically on the beach
iridescent with the white sand on the beach gave the sea a fantastic and clear
turquoise colour. Our eyes absorbed these colours and it then seemed as if
there were only two things in the world, the sea and us.
The trip continues further to the gentle port of Boæava located in a small
cove surrounded by stone houses next to the sea. On the opposite side of the
cove there are two newly built hotels. The locality was first mentioned in 1327
under the name of Bosane, known for its fishing tradition and olive oil processing.
A JOURNEY SOUTH. The
main road meanders from
Brbinj and passes the
island localities, the closest
among which is Savar.
Descending down a steep
road to the sea we come
to the pre-Romanesque
church of St. Pelegrin from
1300. The church is situated in the picturesque Cape
Pelegrin, and then Straπna
peÊ (cave) visited in 1904
by the Austro-Hungarian
Savar
emperor Francis Joseph.
The Forum in Zadar, as well as many palaces and churches in Venice and Rome,
was built from the stone taken from here. We watch a fisherman in a small
peninsula-shaped port taking caught fish out of the net. He explained to us
how he was setting aside for lunch the bigger fish such as sea bream and
grouper, while the rest was for the local cats that were already waiting for
him.
We proceed southwards and the road leads across the narrowest part of
the island where the sea can be seen from both sides. We watch with respect
the imposing open sea on one side while on the other a there is a gentle
group of green islands and islets from where Rava and Iæ are as visible as the
palm of one’s hand. The view from the sea passes over to the mountains, and
the tallest one in front of us is
Vela Straæa (337 m) with a transmitter on its top. A ramp at the
foot of the road warns us that
access is not permitted. Under the
mountain that descends steeply
towards the sea at the end of
Rava Channel our view reaches
the picturesque locality of Luka
which can be reaches by a marked
trail or an asphalted road that
leads directly to the boat landing.
Luka
The next two localities
of Æman and Zaglav are
only at a distance of a few
kilometres. The only gas
station in this part of the
Zadar archipelago is in
Zaglav.
At the crossing of the
road that leads to the
south of the island we
leave Æman and take the
opposite direction at the
sign by the road with the
Zaglav
inscription Æmansko jezero
(Lake Æman). The narrow and winding road at the beginning seems to lead
nowhere. But with a little patience, after going uphill and downhill, and
bends that turn in all directions, across fields where special quality tomatoes
are grown, vineyards and dense evergreen under bush. We arrived at two natural phenomena, two Karst lakes, one bigger than the other, lakes that are
filled with water only in the rainy periods of the year. The Big and Small Lake
are exceptionally interesting Karst creations with rich soil and sources of drinking water that supplies the entire island. The water is brackish (contains a lot
of salt) so desalinators have been installed.
A few km from Zaglav we came to the main island locality of Sali which is
home for half of the 1500 inhabitants of the island. The place is traditionally
known for its fishermen, well-known for their fishing skills and the fish
processing industry (”MardeπiÊ”). Today Sali is being promoted as the nautical
and tourist center of the island, and the change here to urban ambience is
pleasant for the entire island is besieged by silence.
Thanks to the closeness of TelaπÊica Nature Park, Sali is becoming the starting port for visits to this most attractive part of the island. TelaπÊica is reached
by a road that twists around the eastern part of the cove. Silence reigns here
in the non-seasonal period. While walking along the trails that had been
crossed by thousand s of visitors’ feet during the summer season we felt satisfied of being here in the period of the year when the beauty of nature was
shared only by us and the seagulls. It was delightful to sit on a rock under a
pine tree and difficult to rise and proceed onwards. But the presentiment
that there was more beauty to be seen from the heights rising above the lakes
hastened us on to the sharp cliffs on the wild southern coast of the park. The
highest point called GrapaπÊak (166 m) offers a breathtaking view towards the
south, the Kornati islands and the open sea. The Zadar region is by far known
for its spectacular sunsets. While watching the gentle redness on the horizon
we tried to think of what the sunrise was like here during the warm summer
months. The locals say that when the weather is fine after the bora wind the
highest peaks of the Apennine peninsula can be seen on the opposite side of
the Adriatic.
The center of the bay in which there are 2 islets and rocks is the salt lake
called Mir for which it has been said to be able to heal many diseases with its
medical mud. The reflection of the
shores on the perfect lake mirror
reminds us of another nature completely different from this
Mediterranean one.
If in Sali you take a turn at the
monument and proceed on an
asphalted road where at the end of
the road there is an inscription of
Proversa in fading letters, you can
then reach the very end of the island.
GEOGRAPHICAL CROSS-SECTION VIEW. Dugi otok is the biggest and most
distant island of the Zadar archipelago, 52 km long and in some places up to
5 km wide, with two characteristic ends; to the northeast, Veli rat is almost
completely flat, covered with pine and under the constant influence of winds
coming from the Velebit and the Kvarner region, to the south the coast is
naked and indented, typical Kornati islands characteristic belonging only to
this region.
The southern part of the island is rocky with steep cliffs and sharp rocks on
its southwestern flank, while the central and western part are mountainous
and covered with pine and dense green underbush, and in some places woods.
Karst valleys with rich soil stretch under the mountain chains. The western
coast is steep and high while the rest of the coast is filled with coves, straits
and sandy beaches.
CLIMATE. The summers are mainly sunny and the winters mild with an average
yearly temperature of above 16°C. The number of sunshine hours is around
2700 yearly, with less than 100 rainy days on average.
FLORA AND FAUNA. The Mediterranean vegetation has more than 400 types
of plants, numerous rare and endemic plants. The northwestern coast abounds
in rosemary, sage, and other ethereal plants. The forests of pine, black oak,
fields, vineyards and olive groves are a contrast to the rocky lawn with dense
underbush. The preserved olive trees in the fields of Sali are of particular
interest. The island has a rich animal world. There are about 250 types of
plants and 300 animal organisms in the submarine world, including today’s
rare and preserved red corals and the meat-eating sponge.
DUGI OTOK - History. Dugi otok was mentioned under the name of Pizuh
already in the 10th century by the emperor Constantine Porfirogenet under
the name of Pizuh. Almost the entire island was owned by the Zadar monasteries and citizens. The oldest preserved written documents on fishery from
date 995 and mentions the Dugi otok fishermen fishing pilchard ”na luË”.
At the end of the 10th and 11th century the island was called Insula
Tilagus. That name has become the bay of TelaπÊica. The name Veli otok was
first noted in Glagolithic in 1460. The island was settled a long time ago. The
oldest archeological findings are from the late Stone Age (Æman). Many
remains from rich houses, settlements and cemeteries have been preserved
from the Roman period. In the strait of Mala Proversa there was a vast Roman
summer villa partly researched and preserved. The remains of a swimming
pool are well visible, and sewage system traces can be seen in the sea.

ZAGLAV - »ELINJAK (198 M)
Proversa - NP Kornati
A macadam road leads to the end of the island from where extends a fantastic
view of the Kornati islands, the strait of Mala Proversa, the only place through
which you can reach the Kornati and TelaπËica from the open sea. Due to its
well-arranged trails and wonderful nature these are the most interesting
regions for cycling and trekking on the island.
At the end of our journey we can say that Dugi otok, with its variety,
length and difference in height, is just the place for cycling and trekking for
those who are looking for extreme physical challenges to those who wish to
enjoy strolling and being part of nature. Silence is the island’s greatest asset.
Sometimes it is so intensive that you can hear it.
The trail follows the road from Æman and reaches the main island road, intersects and
continues on an asphalted road upwards to reach a pass where the road branches. It then
takes the l. branching downwards to reach a vast and deep valley with Malo jezero (small
lake), and along its banks along the water supply buildings and the desalinator up to Velo
jezero (big lake). The same trail is taken to go back from V. jezero to the desalinator and
then r. along the water supply route to reach the road and then downwards along the
road in order to reach the main island road. The trail turns l. on that same road and after
about 1 km reaches Æman.
Veliko and Malo jezero (a big and small lake that are exceptionally interesting karst formations
with rich and fertile land and sources of drinking water that supply the entire island. The water
is brackish (contains a good amount of salt) and therefore desalinators have been put up.

From the center of Boæava and past Hotel Boæava the trail proceeds next to the sea, across
OpatiËina Bay where there is a concrete beach, and further along the coast to Gruπevica
Cove. Shortly after having left the cove the trail takes a bend to the r. and rises steeply to
M.Gospa chapel (158 m). From the chapel it shortly takes a large trail and then l. across a
dense and steep valley along the contour line to reach the village of Dragove. Dragove is an
exceptionally interesting old village with a large cistern and a church on the high ground.
Then the trail leads s. from the church and along a concrete trail to the asphalted road. It
takes the road in direction s. to reach a sharp right bend. Here it leaves the asphalt and
goes down the old wine route to reach Paprenica Cove where an abandoned military horizontal tunnel for boats can be seen from a distance. The trail skirts the tunnel from the
topside and then descends to the sea. The trails goes further on along the sea and across
Luka Cove with its lovely beach and proceeds across the coves of Gruπevica and OpatiËina
to return to Boæava.
