Biokovo, Mountain range in Dalmatia, Croatia.
Biokovo is a mountain range that stretches along the Dalmatian coast between two major rivers and is built from limestone. The range rises steeply from the sea and is marked by gray rock faces and sparse vegetation on its slopes.
The range received protected status as a nature park beginning in 1981 to preserve its geological formations. This step helped safeguard the mountain's ecosystems from damage.
The settlements around Biokovo show traditional ways of living that have been passed down through generations. Visitors can still see how the houses blend with the landscape and how the land is marked by old paths and terraces.
Access is provided through marked trails and roads, some of which are steep and require good footwear. Visitors should prepare for changing weather since higher elevations mean quick weather shifts.
A glass platform extends out from the cliff edge and offers visitors a view across the sea toward the Italian coast. This structure lets people experience the distant horizon without leaving the mountainside.
