What a fantastic view 👀 of the Adriatic coast 😍. And the sight of the road winding downhill in hairpin bends makes you want to head out 😁🤠.

If you start in Omis you have two options. Either along the Cetina to Kucice and then via Slime to Dubci and from there back along the main road to Omis. It is recommended to drive up to Lokva Rogoznica at the second tunnel. It is really steep at the beginning but the view at the top is simply fantastic. There is also the longer alternative via Gata and Blato na Cetina. Then it is simply hinterland.
