In the morning, we arrive in the Dubrovnik area and start the hike from one of the city's most famous viewpoints overlooking the old fortified core.

During the hike, we'll pass several old fortresses built in ancient times to protect the city from all sides, with views extending from the source of the Ombla River to the open sea!

The most famous fortresses we'll pass are Strinčjera and Imperial, and we'll also have the opportunity to see a few less preserved smaller buildings.
