Climbing wall Stogaj
Sightseeing
Given the appearance of Pag, which is reminiscent of the Moon, and consists of a large part of the barren, karst rock, it is no surprise that Stogaj is a very popular destination for climbers. Near Metajna, first row to the sea, Stogaj is the most famous climbing area on Pag, which offers almost 20 marked routes over four parts. Absolute beginners can try the short, easy climb of ten meters, and experienced climbers can try the Scorpion or Spyder route.
Sveti Vid
Sightseeing
Sv. Vid is the highest peak of the island of Pag (342 m) with a beautiful view of the town of Pag, the Bay of Pag, the mountain Velebit and the surrounding islands. It is located above the town of Kolan and since the climb is exhausting, it is recommended that you go down to the charming Kolan for refreshment and rest.
Lun
Sightseeing
On the northernmost part of the island of Pag is the charming village of Lun, known for its olive trees that have been thriving in incredible symbiosis with the Dalmatian karst and the sun for more than a thousand years. The olive groves that cover the Lun peninsula represent a unique botanical treasure of the Mediterranean area and are also among the oldest olive groves in the world.
The small, exotic corner of the country, home to about 80,000 olives, hides an original Mediterranean olive variety that thrives in only two other locations in the world: Greece, and Israel. Lun stands out from Greece and Israel for the incredible number of millennial olives concentrated in such a small area. In 1963, it was declared a unique botanical reserve. A walk through the olive grove is magical, especially when you see the oldest preserved olive tree, self-sown more than 1600 years ago, which even today stands firmly along the macadam road. Unique in their own way and completely different from each other, these olives are fused with the stone they are surrounded by. They seem like they have always been there. And apart from the surreal look of each tree, which seems to be from a fairy tale, the fruits that are hand-picked in the fall give a top-quality olive oil that you can't taste anywhere else in the world. The pure, delicate taste of lunar oil provoked the palate as early as in Roman times when it was highly prized in imperial circles. This first-class quality oil is still known today, and we recommend that you buy at least one bottle after a walk.
