Blatina kraj Sobre

Blatina kraj Sobre is a protected natural site on Mljet island composed of several habitat types with Mediterranean plant life. The landscape includes open areas, dense scrubland, and forested sections that together form an interconnected ecosystem.

The site gained official protection status in 2013 as part of efforts to safeguard its natural habitats and wildlife. This designation connected it to a broader network of protected areas across Croatia's coastal regions.

The area holds meaning for local people as a place where daily life connects to the care and protection of nature. Residents value this landscape as part of their identity and stewardship of the island.

Access is by ferry to Mljet island followed by walking along marked pathways through the natural area. The warmer months offer the best visiting conditions when trails are easy to walk and weather is stable.

The site is part of a network of protected areas that connects and preserves distinctive habitats across the Adriatic region. This interconnected approach allows rare species to move between protected spaces and maintain healthy populations.
