Biovičino Selo is located on a dry karst plateau between the cities of Knin and Šibenik. The village is deeply rooted in the rural life of Northern Dalmatia and has travelers an authentic experience far from the coastal paths. The surroundings are characterized by barren beauty, stone walls, and historical traces dating back to the Middle Ages. One of the most significant cultural highlights nearby is the Serbian Orthodox Krka Monastery, located just a short drive away in the canyon of the river of the same name. Dragović Monastery is also accessible. The landscape invites extensive exploration of untouched nature, although summers here are hot and dry, giving the region a special, almost archaic charm. The local population traditionally lives from sheep farming and agriculture. Visitors can taste first-class sheep cheese and homemade lamb here. The proximity to Krka National Park makes Biovičino Selo an interesting stopover for nature lovers who want to visit the famous Skradinski buk or Roški slap waterfalls while looking for quiet accommodation.
