More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb through a low pine forest as the Adriatic light tilts toward orange, the air smelling of rosemary and crushed sage. The path is soft underfoot, an easy incline that leads to terraces of vines and gnarled olive trees planted along Malaštica Hill. Ahead, the sea pushes the sun toward the horizon and the valley below—Župa Dubrovačka—opens like a lived-in map of terraces and stone walls.
