The trail around the Big Lake

This gorgeous path is 10.5 kilometres long and flat throughout, with the nicest sections around the Great Lake. You will cross two tiny bridges while riding it, and the best part is that you will be able to explore an amazing cave and the beautiful island of St. Mary.

Someone from your yacht crew can wait for you and take you to the islet, or you may decide to go kayaking. Also, consider simply relaxing and taking a swim in the crystal clear sea. There is also a restaurant on the island where you may have your lunch or perhaps enjoy a coffee.

If you decide on this simple journey, a total tour with visits to the cave and the island of St. Mary will take around 4 hours, but you will love every minute of it, we assure you. And the best thing about this trail is that you are inside the Mljet National Park all the time.
