Island Trail

The trail begins in the centre of Tkon, heads towards Kolešće Square and follows a concrete path to the Kruševo intersection where there is a bike service station and a map of the island of Pašman with marked bike trails.

The trail continues on the gravel road to the Straža viewpoint. Straža viewpoint is built on a rocky peak at the altitude of 172 m. It is offers a view of the Kornati Archipelago, Vransko jezero, Ravni Kotari and the Velebit mountain range. The trail continues along the ridge of the island and offers panoramic views on both sides of the island. It follows a rough gravel road and is rather dynamic as it contains many short descents and ascents. It leads to the peak of Veliki Bokolj (274m), which is also the highest peak of the island of Pašman. At the top, a circular wall has been erected that resembles the remains of a ruined fort. It serves today as a viewpoint offering the magnificent view of the surrounding area in all directions.

The trail continues on the gravel road, then follows a narrow paved path passing through the old part of the hamlet of Dobropoljana to the main island road. It passes through the centre of Dobropoljana, where one can also visit the St. Thomas’ church. Then it takes the paved road to through Neviđane and the protected old stone centre of the village, which is a witness of ancient times when houses were built exclusively of stone. There is also the church of Our Lady of Health, and not far from it the church of Sacred Heart of Jesus. The trail continues from Neviđane towards Mrljane, where there is a dog beach, and along the coast to Barotul and then to Pašman. It passes through the Lučina bay. There, there is a church dedicate to the Birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The trail continues through the centre of Pašman and, in of the streets, it passes by the church of St. Marc.

From Pašman to Kraj, the trail follows a gravel road along the coast. It passes by the Franciscan Monastery of St. Domnius with a church. The monastery is located right next to the sea. Around the monastery there is a large olive grove. After the monastery, the trail continues to the main island road. After 200 meters, it turns left towards Tratica beach, which is also in Kraj. From Kraj to Ugrinić, the trail follows the paid road and reaches the Ćokovac Hill, with the Benedictine monastery of St. Cosmas and Damian, which is also the only Benedictine male monastery in Croatia and a centre of study of the Glagolitic alphabet. The trail descends down the Ćokovac hill on the paved road that continues towards the village of Tkon where this trail ends.
