Biokovo Road and Sveti Jure
Makarska, Croatia
A narrow mountain road climbs Biokovo Nature Park to Sveti Jure at 1,762 metres, high above the Makarska Riviera, passing a glass skywalk. An entry fee is charged; the road is single-lane and unsuitable for motorhomes.
The Biokovo Road in Biokovo Nature Park above Makarska (Dalmatia, Croatia) is, at 23 km, the highest road in the country. It runs from the main entrance at 365 m up to Sveti Jure at 1,762 m. From the summit the view reaches over the coast and islands, as far as Monte Gargano in Italy in very clear weather; on the other side you see the Dalmatian hinterland and the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Halfway up, 13 km from the entrance (about 30 minutes by car), the Skywalk stands at Ravna Vlaška near Vošac at 1,228 m. The viewing platform, opened in 2020, juts out about 12 m and is closed in winter.
Practical points: the road is single-lane, narrow and winding; lay-bys about every 300 m allow vehicles to pass. A ticket is required at the main entrance, entry is limited to 25 vehicles per hour, and waits are possible in summer (as of October 2026). The park is open seasonally and officially closed in winter, so check the times in advance. Motorhome drivers should clarify suitability with the park authority beforehand.
