💡 Tips

  • Hike the 'Napoleon Road' built in 1807 for sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea.
  • Visit the Vlaška hill viewpoint for the best sunset views over Trogir and the islands.
  • Look for the medieval Church of St. Elijah (Sv. Ilija) along the hiking trails.
  • Wear sturdy hiking boots as the path can be steep with loose gravel in some sections.
  • Bring plenty of water, as there is very little shade on the ascent from the coast.

Seget Gornji is perched on the slopes above the historic town of Trogir, offering a fascinating blend of history and panoramic vistas. The village once played a role in the defense system of the coast, protecting it from inland incursions. Its old stone houses and narrow alleys are a testament to the long settlement history of the area. From here, you can enjoy spectacular views of the Adriatic islands, including Drvenik, Šolta, and Brač, as well as the entire Kaštela Bay. Seget Gornji is a popular starting point for hikers, notably for the 'Path of Happiness' (Staza sreće), which winds through ancient olive groves and fragrant Mediterranean shrubs. The tranquility here is a stark contrast to the lively atmosphere of nearby Trogir. Local taverns serve traditional dishes seasoned with herbs gathered from the surrounding mountains. Despite its peaceful hilltop location, it's just a short drive from Split Airport, making it conveniently accessible. It’s the first-rate spot for travelers who want to admire the Dalmatian coast from above while enjoying the serenity of the mountains.
