Camping Biokovo

The site's mountain setting is that of Biokovo, the highest peak in Dalmatia at a height of 1,762 metres. It's a popular place for hiking, mountaineering and nature spotting: over 1,500 animal and plant species have their home in the park. For hiking around the nature park head to Vosac, the peak of 1,421 metres which is a couple of kilometres from Makarska. Among the Dalmatian lakes, a particularly picworthy scene is at the Crveno Jezero or Red Lake, near the city of Imotski. The third biggest sinkhole in the world, it's famed for its towering cliffs and deep caves around a lake depth of 530 metres. Have a couple of hours in Imotski after that, where the town's medieval fortress is on the rocks of a similar sinkhole in the Blue Lake. The site team also recommends a visit to the Biokovo Botanical Garden Kotisina, on the coastal slopes of the Biokovo Nature Park about 25 minutes' drive away.
