Hiking on Perun Hill Dugi Rat

If you rent an apartment, room or holiday house in Dugi Rat or Duće or in one of the other small resorts of the Riviera of Omiš, you`ll spend your nights under a hill named Perun. Perun is the old Slavic god of lightning, also called the Gromovnik (grom = lightning in Croatian), and Gromovnik is the supreme deity of the Slavic gods, same as Zeus is in Greek mythology. The world was depicted as an oak tree in Slavic mythology, and overland parts of the tree represented the world of the living, while roots were penetrating into the world of the dead. Perun ruled the living world, sitting on the highest tree branch and watching the world. We often encounter his name in the Croatian toponym wit marking the peaks of mountains and hills, such as this one stretching between the two rivers, from Žrnovnica to Cetina in length of 17 kilometers. The Perun Hill is looking at Dugi Rat and the Omiš Riviera and protects it from thunderstorms from the northwest, while long summer days protect against boredom, offering its gentle slopes to walkers, hikers, and climbers for the active vacation in Dugi Rat and the surrounding places. The hiking trail belted the entire hill connecting Podstrana and Žrnovnica, climbing tracks in 40 directions were built, and from 2018 Perun can boast of Perunika ferata. Ferata is an extreme mountain route marked with carriers and steel cranes designed for all those who want to taste the inexhaustible paths of the mighty Perun. Hiking on Perun Hill near Dugi Rat offers fun for the whole family with a proper assessment of their own readiness, adequate equipment, and necessary caution. Perun offers a fantastic chance to discover the Mediterranean heritage of Croatia, the natural beauty of the Adriatic coast and cultural heritage. Take advantage of Perun's generosity and watch the world in his company.
