Route description
This tour is inspired by the Way of the Cross and the pilgrimage that has a long tradition in Dol. It is not easy, but it is still a great choice for all travellers, families especially, due to it being the least tiresome of our hikes.
As we embark from Dol, we join the route that has been paved in for centuries during the procession in the morning of Good Friday. From Dol, the road leads up to the church of St. Michael that oversees the village from the high central hill. This early Christian basilica dates back all the way to the 11th century.
The procession continues to Velo Brdo, the devastated small church of Holy Vid, and descends into the village. Upon arriving on the viewpoint Kučac, we stop to rest and admire the unforgettable view of Dol and Postira, and then we return to Dol.
This activity ends with a tour of Dol presented to you by a person born and raised in this village, which makes this experience truly authentic.
During the tour of Dol, you will be able to taste hrapoćuša.
Hrapoćuša is a traditional Croatian cake originating from the island of Brač, specifically from the village of Dol. It's a dense and rich dessert known for its unique texture and flavor, often enjoyed during festive occasions.
Dol cake is distinguished by its rough and rustic look, and it was called after the local stone “hrapoćuša” to which the dessert irresistibly reminds.
It is a reddish-colored rugged stone used in the construction of drywall as well as residential and outhouse complexes.
We strongly recommend wearing quality sports or mountain shoes, sportswear and a lot of water. The route is 5.5 km long, and it lasts for about 2 hours.
