You step off the minivan and the Adriatic's hush gives way to soft forest air — pine and maquis pressing close as a narrow path unspools toward Komaji. The poles tap a steady rhythm; each stride moves you along the old Ćiro trainbed, past low stone walls and tiled farmhouses that have changed little in a century.

Use the poles
Nordic walking poles are provided but practice a few basic techniques to share load across upper body and improve balance on uneven sections.
Hydrate for the sun
Bring at least 1–1.5 liters of water per person—shaded stretches cool you down but exposed terraces can be warm, especially midday.
Footwear matters
Wear closed, grippy shoes with a firm sole—paths are compacted dirt and occasional loose limestone.
Respect private land
Stick to marked paths and ask before photographing inside family courtyards; the tasting takes place in a private home.
