Trolokve is located in the Dalmatian Zagora, not far from Split and Prgomet. The name literally means 'three ponds' and refers to the rare natural water sources in this barren karst landscape. These ponds were historically vital for livestock and local agriculture. The village is a prime example of the traditional way of life in the hinterland, characterized by dry stone walls and simple stone architecture. The surrounding area contains remains of old shepherd paths, which can be used for hiking today. The air here is exceptionally clean, and the silence is only broken by the bells of sheep. Despite its remote location, Trolokve is quickly accessible via the Prgomet exit of the A1 highway. It has visitors an authentic experience far from the crowded beaches of the Split Riviera.
