The Biokovo Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped viewing platform jutting out from the edge of Mount Biokovo above the town of Makarska on the Dalmatian coast, about 5 km east of Makarska and 53 km southeast of Split in a straight line. It opened in 2020 at a height of more than 1,200 metres. Biokovo is the second-highest mountain range in Croatia, and its highest peak, Sveti Jure, reaches 1,762 metres. A 196-square-kilometre nature park protects more than 1,500 plant and animal species, some found nowhere else. On very clear days, it is said, Monte Gargano in Italy can be seen from the summit, 252 km away. The glass platform juts into thin air above a towering white cliff, and below visitors' feet the whole coast spreads out: the red roofs of Makarska, its beaches, and the islands of Brač and Hvar in the blue sea. Bare limestone surrounds it, broken by sparse grass and low pines. Visitors drive or take organised buses up a narrow, winding mountain road inside the park, and car entry runs on time slots in season. The road continues to the summit of Sveti Jure; go in the morning before cloud builds up.
