The Mediterranean sun and the crystal waters of the Adriatic Sea may be a priority for some of our guests when they decide to spend their vacation on the Adriatic coast, but there are more and more people who, in addition to the sun and the sea, are looking for 'that little bit more'. Numerous tourist boards have recognized the growing demand for content that offers a more active form of tourism, so they are tirelessly implementing projects that will satisfy that demand.
Both domestic and foreign guests are increasingly turning to nature, and the ideal way to connect with nature - suitable for all ages and fitness levels - are hiking and cycling trails.
That's how Bol is on Brač, where they are aware of how it is active tourism one of the prerequisites for extending the season, it boasts three hiking and two cycling trails, which are based on local legends. However, the story of the enrichment of Bol's offer did not stop there.
Two cycling trails in Bol with a length of about 60 kilometers. Trails "Feel the intoxicating scents of Brač" and "Brac's fairies from myths and legends" are the world's first Bike or bicycle Storytelling tracks. Each of them has its own story, which can be heard in three languages - Croatian, English and German - using the accompanying software. In this way, they are adapted to blind and partially sighted people, at least in the story part.
What the Bol cycling storytelling trails say
Trail 768 - Brač villas from myths and legends will take you on a mythical journey through the most famous island legends. It is a demanding 45-kilometer cycle path that will take you to a height of 1057 meters. Legend has it that on the top of Vidova Gora (768 m) beautiful, gentle fairies used to gather. If you climb Vidovo Gora, you might find them there. When the weather on the mountain worsens, when there is thunder or lightning, the fairies Poganica and Irudica turn into witches and fight with hawthorn stakes. So be careful if you find yourself there in bad weather. On the way back to Bol, pay attention to the traces of Saint George. They were created while - as the legend says - he was chasing a dragon that was flying over Brač.
Trail 769- Smell the intoxicating smells of Brač will lead you along the fragrant fields of rosemary, sage and lavender. When you reach Zlatni rat beach - one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - you will be immersed in the intoxicating smell of pine trees. Here try to find the Stone of Happiness, a combination of shell and stone, which brings eternal happiness and prosperity to the finder.
