The majority of visits to Biokovo mountain included peak Vosac, peak St. Jure and miles of walks on the hills enjoying the scenery and wildlife that lives on the mountain. This changed with introducing the Biokovo Skywalk, a heavenly promenade for all who seek thrill and excitement. It soon became the most popular trip to take while staying in Baska Voda or Makarska Riviera and other cities such as Dubrovnik, Split, and even Sibenik and Zadar area.
