Hiking to Planinarski Dom “Umberto Girometta”
Posted March 31st by Braddock Family in Active Holidays, Adriatic Sea, Croatia, Dalmatia, Split, Split Excursions
When we are not on the water in Croatia, we like to escape Split by heading into the hills behind the city.
Our favorite trail is up from the village of Sitno Gornje to the peak of Mosor. On the way is Planinarski dom Umberto Girometta at 868m above sea level. (A planinarski dom is a hiker’s hut.)
Hiking Club Mosor, Split (HPD Mosor) is responsible for maintaining the refuge – and one local family has been making the trek up there each weekend, with the supply-laden donkey, for the last 35 years, to feed us hungry hikers.
The rooms are basic (open every weekend of the year), but the food is hearty – especially the pasta fazol – bean soup with sausages.
Our Danish friends came with us one weekend – their report can be read here.
