Biokovo nature park is, by many, one of the most attractive nature parks in Croatia. Biokovo nature park stretches 30 km above Makarska riviera, and it covers almost entire Biokovo mountain (part of Dinaric mountains), characterized by high steep cliffs rising above Makarska riviera. St. Jure is the highest peak of the mountain Biokovo, with an altitude of 1,762 m. A narrow paved road leads to the top of Biokovo, so it is possible to reach St. Jure by car. Climbing to the top of the mountain offers special experience since along the way you can enjoy magical views of Makarska riviera, the nearby islands of Hvar and Brač and the open sea. You can try local specialties at one of the restaurants. Biokovo is also characterized by karst forms typical of Dinarides. Nature park Biokovo is rich in plant and animal species, of which the most typical for Biokovo are eagle, wolf, forests of black pine, beech and fir. In the park, there is a botanical garden Kotišina, worth visiting. Due to the attractive viewpoints and the proximity to the sea, Biokovo nature park is visited by many visitors, especially in the summer.
