Overview

The Biokovo Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass platform extending 11 meters over a precipice at an elevation of 1,228 meters above sea level. Located within Biokovo Nature Park, it offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea, the Makarska Riviera, and the Dalmatian islands. The structure consists of a reinforced concrete base and a glass walkway designed to support the weight of multiple visitors simultaneously. It is accessed via the 23-kilometer Biokovo mountain road that ascends from the park entrance to the Ravna Vlaška viewpoint. The park landscape features dramatic karst topography, sinkholes, and diverse Mediterranean flora. Wind speeds at the peak can be extreme, influencing the structural engineering and visitor experience. The site serves as a primary hub for hikers exploring the surrounding limestone massif.

Insider tips

Bring a windbreaker or additional layers, as temperatures at 1,228 meters are significantly lower than on the coast.

Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the intense glare reflecting off the glass and the Adriatic water.

Check local weather reports specifically for the Biokovo peak, as coastal sunshine does not guarantee clear skies at the summit.

What to avoid

Attempting the ascent in a low-clearance vehicle if the road is marked as difficult; underestimating the rapid change in weather conditions.

Good to know

Open seasonally from spring through late autumn; closed during winter months due to snow and ice conditions on the mountain road.

Etiquette

Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes; high heels and open-toed footwear are discouraged due to the metal grid and glass surface.
