Interactive map of cycling and walking routes on Peljesac

As part of the development of Outdoor Pelješac, an interactive map of mountain biking and hiking routes was made, Otoci.eu reports.

Currently, the map shows five circular mountain bike routes with a length of 184 km and six mountaineering routes with a total length of 39 km.

The tourist boards of the Pelješac peninsula have announced that within the project “Product Development Pelješac” they are developing an Outdoor offer of mountaineering, cycling and windsurfing activities and events in the form of five thematic festivals.

Each of the festivals will last for a month, during which visitors will enjoy the flavors of Peljesac, traditional dishes and Peljesac wine.

Additional route extensions are planned, as well as the addition of catering facilities and wineries to the map so that guests can easily find their way around the area and get to know this offer of Peljesac. Peljesac is rich in wineries and traditional taverns and restaurants, so the combination of outdoors and traditional flavors is quite natural.

On the map, you can see information about the weight of the route, the type of surface, description, photos and you can download the GPX track that can be used in various mobile applications and smartwatches. There is also a link to the OsmAnd mobile app on the map, as a suggestion. Otherwise, the application is free to download and works offline.

Protection of the Paklinski islands

The primary task of the project activities is to expand the category of protection from the mainland to the sea of the Paklinski Islands near Hvar, for which funds were obtained to prepare the necessary studies.

In addition, the development of a Management Plan for protected areas and ecological network areas is underway: Island of Hvar (PU 6105). After Jelsa, the next in a series of workshops is the one in Hvar for the Paklinski islands, where activities for the preservation of the land and sea of the Paklinski islands will be defined.
