Active holiday | TZ Omiš

If your perfect vacation includes a dose of adrenaline, then Omiš is definitely the right choice for you. There is hardly a sea, water, mountain or air activity not offered in the greater Omiš area.

There are truly not many other towns or cities in the world where you can start off the morning riding the river rapids, find yourself a hundred meters up in the air, hanging from a wire in the middle of the Cetina canyon around noon, be climbing the nearby mountain top accompanied by professional climbing instructors in the afternoon and then fly a paraglider down to the beautiful sandy beach where you can still manage to take a swim before sunset. When spending your vacation in Omiš, the only question is how many different activities your body can take in a day!

But, no worries, you don’t have to be in perfect shape to enjoy the wide range of outdoor activities available in Omiš. Most of them are appropriate for all ages, and below you can find just a small portion of the wide offer of adrenaline experiences you can choose from once in Omiš.

Cycling

Cycling

A bicycle is perhaps the best “tool” to experience everything that Omiš and its hinterland have to offer. In just one day you can explore the canyon of the Cetina River, cycle through the proud historical region of Poljica and return to Omiš for a swim. For adrenaline lovers, we especially recommend the mountain bike trails for which Omiš’s surroundings have been becoming more and more popular with adventurers. This is one of the advantages of a city built in a place, where mountains and the sea meet so closely.

Hiking and Trekking

Hiking and Trekking

The town of Omiš lies in the embrace of three steep mountains – Omiška Dinara, Komorjak and Mosor. For centuries these mountains served as a natural shield from enemies, whereas today they represent a perfect venue for hiking tours. Except for offering a number of well-marked theme trails suitable for recreational hikers and all-year-round tours, each spring the mountains around Omiš become the venue of the Spring Trekking Cup – a series of hiking/trekking marathons which, apart from endurance, also test one’s resourcefulness and orientation skills.

The Spring Trekking Cup today consists of three competitions – Imbertrek, Jesenice Trekking Cup and one of the oldest trekking races in Croatia – Mosor Grebbening.

Each year the Cup attracts hundreds of professional athletes to Omiš and the area, but also many recreational runners, competing at somewhat shorter and easier routes. The Spring Trekking Cup is an adventure-run that celebrates nature and promotes a healthy lifestyle, and despite it formally being a race, most competitors put less value into the time it takes them to finish the race than into the time actually spent on the mountain with their families and friends – because this is what trekking really is about.

Great and Small Gubavica waterfalls (Croat. Velika and Mala Gubavica)

Great and Small Gubavica waterfalls (Croat. Velika and Mala Gubavica)

For tens of thousands of years, the Cetina river shaped and formed the landscape along its course – it carried rocks, cut through mountains and slowly worked its way to the sea. During its millenary journey it created one of the most beautiful canyons in Croatia, a place hiding a new surprise at every corner. Two of the most amazing ones are perhaps the two waterfalls near the village of Zadvarje - the Great (Velika) (49 m) and Small (Mala) (7m) Gubavica, special among hundreds of others in the world for the fact that you can actually swim under them.

The location represents a breath-taking natural oasis in which the Cetina River, just meters away from the two mighty waterfalls, for a moment calms down and forms a nice swimming pond with a spectacular view of the roaring water masses dropping down from almost 50 m above you!
