Croatia: Summer Vacation, Day 15: Sveti Vid


Sveti Vid is the highest peak on the island of Pag. It rises to an elevation of 348 meters and offers panoramic views of the island, the surrounding Adriatic Sea, and the nearby Velebit mountain range on the mainland. At the summit, there is a small chapel dedicated to Saint Vitus (Sveti Vid), after whom the peak is named. Since we haven't hiked for a few days now, Nada, Bronco and me decided to conquer it.

Previous days of our Summer Vacation 2024: Day 14 - 16219, Day 13 - 16218, Day 12 - 16217, Day 11 - 16216, Day 10 - 16215, Day 9 - 16214, Day 8 - 16213, Day 7 - 16212, Day 6 - 16211, Day 5 - 16210,  Day 4 - 16209, Day 3 - 16208, Day 2 - 16207 and Day 1 - 16206.

I think Bronco already mentioned, he doesn't like sharp rocks.

Rocky ground and low vegetation.

The vegetation on Pag is characterized by hardy, drought-resistant plants that thrive in rocky soil and can withstand strong winds and dry conditions.

Bronco, what do you see?
