An easy asphalt route along the Luštica peninsula with views of the surrounding beaches and the hamlet of Rose.
This 5.1 km trail leads from the Žanjice beach area toward Rose on the Luštica peninsula. It is easy, fully paved, and suitable for all ages.
This easy route follows a paved road along the Luštica peninsula for 5.1 km. The trail runs in one direction, with a gentle ascent of only 16 m and a total descent of 179 m, meaning that you mostly go downhill or on flat ground.
The trailhead is located near Žanjice Beach, which is about 1.3 km away. Along the way you pass about 0.4 km from Rose (~0.4 km from the trail), and in the wider surroundings the beaches of Dobreč, Mirište, and Arza are accessible.
The surface is asphalt or concrete along the entire length, so the trail does not require hiking footwear. At the end of the trail there are two parking zones (at about 4.9 km and 5.1 km from the start), which makes transport easier if you come with two vehicles.
The trail is easy and excellent for families with children, older adults, and anyone who wants a pleasant outing without demanding terrain. The estimated walking time without breaks is about 1 h 30 min.
