| The
Red Lake

The Red Lake
is a world phenomenon
for its unique shape, dimensions and colour. The lake was formed
in the underground caves whose ceilings collapsed during an
earthquake. Its dimensions are impressive: the lake is more than
500 metres deep, out of which 281 m are under water and the
bottom of the lake is below the sea level. The precipice of the
lake is 300 m long and 200 m wide. The Red Lake is situated 1.5
km northeast of Imotski and it’s not very accessible…
We
would like to invite you to walk along the edge of the precipice
of the lake; it’s a narrow path with
a beautiful view at this natural phenomenon. After the walk, we
are taking you into precipice, all the way down to the water
surface. During the descent and the climb you will be firmly
secured with a rope. The bravest will be able to try a real
abseil (descent with a 100 m long rope). You don’t want to
miss this adventure! It’s an excellent opportunity for a once-in-a-life-time
experience!

| The
G alipovac
Lake is one of the
three lakes in the district of Lokvičići. Together with the
Mamići Lake and the Knezovići Lake it is fairly unknown and
unexplored. These lakes and their karst valleys, hills
covered with gardens, various ruins and other archaeological
sites, represent a tourist attraction
that simply must be visited. The view is beautiful; you can see
the Imotsko Polje Valley and the Prološko Blato Lake, which
floods most of the surrounding area throughout the whole year.
We are offering you a trekking trip along the edge of all three
lakes and a tour of some of the archaeological sites with
excellent opportunities for taking pictures. If you are willing,
you will be able to descent and even dive in the Galipovac Lake.
This lake is 50 m deep, its water is clear …

Biokovo is a giant
mountain range near the sea. Its highest peak is St Jure (1762
m). This mountain shows many contrasts
of nature on a rather small area with its
abundance of flora, including some endemic species, and rich
fauna. The climb starts in Zagvozd, a village situated 13 km
southwest from Imotski. There are a few possible paths, but the
most interesting one is the path towards the highest peak.
During the climb, you will be going through a beech wood up to
three interesting wells with stone fences at 1100 m above the
sea level. After that you will be climbing on bare rocky ground
all the way to the top where you will find a St Jure church and
a beautiful view at the sea and some of the islands of the
Adriatic. During the winter there is a lot of snow on Biokovo.
The karst valleys remain covered with snow until the late spring…
