Hike to the Fairies’ Spring

We leave the town of Korcula by transfer (if you prefer hiking all the way that’s fine too) to get us to the village of Zrnovo – one of the oldest settlements on the island. Its inhabitants gravitate to Korcula but nevertheless are well into wine and olive oil making, agriculture and stonemasonry. The churches of this little village spread out on a relatively large area are also a particularity coming from different visions and architectural styles.

There we’ll find a trail leading to a little and magical forest known as Kocje. It is a labyrinth of strangely shaped dolomite rocks overgrown with ivy, surrounded by holm oak, fern. Flora is interwoven in a most delicate way with cave-like spaces between the boulders dressed in moss seemingly hiding some primordial secrets. Although this protected area is relatively small it comes natural to spend some time exploring its green corridors, aromatic herbs or looking for the “Fairies’ spring”.

On the way back from Kocje we return to Zrnovo to enjoy rich taste of the most autochthonous olive oil and other organic products of the land in an original old stone house setting. Other option is to make food tasting into a complete lunch (or dinner) to remember with more wonderful things on our plates.

Having satisfied our palates it is time to complete our knowing of this serene area by walking (mostly downhill) to the town of Korcula or we simply get a transfer back (optional).
