This month we finally managed to explore the famous gravel road ‘Majstorska cesta’, also known as the Master’s Road, which has been on our bucket list for a long time.

DISCOVER THE AMAZING BEAUTY OF ZAVRATNICA COVE IN CROATIA
Last week we spent a few days in and around Nature Park Velebit. Early spring is the right time of the year to visit this region: you can easily avoid the crowds and explore the enchanting natural beauties. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful spots in Croatia is Zavratnica Cove. This is a […]
EXPLORING THE IMOTSKI LAKES
Although we have crisscrossed Dalmatia many times, we are still discovering many beautiful spots when making day trips from our campsite in Slano. This summer we decided to explore the Geopark Biokovo-Imotski Lakes, an area of exceptional cultural, historical and natural heritage. When mentioning Imotski, what usually comes to mind for most people are the […]
THE MAGIC ARBORETUM OF TRSTENO
As we are spending our summer as usual in Slano on the Coast of Dubrovnik, it is not far to make a day trip to Trsteno, a charming village with a picturesque port. Trsteno is famous for its Arboretum, which was founded out of the estate of the seafaring family of Ivan Gučević. He erected […]
KOBAŠ, PELJEŠAC – PAST AND PRESENT
As we are spending our summer – as usual – in Slano, Southern Dalmatia, it is easy to visit the nearby peninsula of Pelješac, which is small enough to cover by car in one day (its length is 70 km only). Pelješac is connected with the mainland by the recently constructed Pelješac Bridge, while the […]
3 BEAUTIFUL OLD TOWNS IN NORTH CROATIA
During our camper tour from Slovenia to Montenegro in September we visited several medieval towns in North Croatia. It is difficult to make a choice among all the beautiful places we explored, but I was particularly impressed by the towns of Krk and Omišalj on Krk Island and Motovun in Istria. Towns with clear differences, […]
VISITING GOLI OTOK – THE NAKED ISLAND
Visiting the notorious prison island Goli Otok, a deserted island off the northern Croatian coast, is not so easy when you travel by car or camper van. First, you have to take the ferry to the island of Rab, then continue to Rab’s most southern tourist resort of Lopar and there you will find “Goli Express”, […]
EXPLORING PELJEŠAC OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
As we are spending our long corona summer in Slano, Southern Dalmatia, we are making the most of our time by visiting less known villages and sites in the surroundings. One of our favorite regions is the peninsula of Pelješac that extends into the Adriatic Sea, reaching out to touch the island of Korčula. Pelješac […]
5 HIDDEN GEMS OF SOUTHERN DALMATIA
As we are spending our corona-summer in Southern Dalmatia, we have got plenty of time to explore some less known places in the surroundings of Slano, where we feel perfectly relaxed at our beloved Camp Rogač. Except for its highlights – Dubrovnik and the splendid beaches, Southern Dalmatia hides many historical, architectural and natural attractions. […]
A DAY TRIP TO KORČULA
During our summer holidays in Camp Rogač near Slano, we made a nice day trip to the island of Korčula. It was easy to get there: the scenic drive through the quaint and tranquil landscape of Pelješac peninsula (around 65 km long) offered beautiful views of typical vineyards, natural bays, dense forests and picturesque Dalmatian […]
