Grab is an under-the-radar destination in the Dalmatian hinterland near Trilj. The village is famous for the Grabske mlinice, a series of watermills over 600 years old, some of which still grind grain in the traditional way today. The crystal-clear water of the Grab River springs directly from the rocks, providing a refreshing atmosphere amidst dense vegetation. Visitors can admire the old stone houses and explore the path along the river, lined with lush greenery and small rapids. The region is handy for hikers and nature lovers who appreciate the untouched landscape of Mount Kamešnica. The tranquility of the place is interrupted only by the sound of rushing water and the gentle clatter of the mills. Traditional konobas in the area serve local specialties such as trout from the Grab or homemade bread baked under the peka. Grab has an authentic glimpse into rural Dalmatian life, away from the crowded coastal towns, making it an excellent destination for a day trip from Split or Sinj.
