Overview
The trail Sveti Duh - Bol is dry and rocky trail situated in the south area of Brač island.
The starting point is near the highway from Bol city to Gornji Humac village.
Sveti Duh chapel is situated at the highest point of the trail at the elevation of 620 meters over the sea level. During summer is very hot so I suggest to plan the route for winter, spring or fall. The route can be combined with
Bol - Smokovje route. The route is technically demanding one!
Getting there: Europe, Croatia, Split, Island Brač,
the junction on the highway from Bol city to Gornji Humac village.
Description of MTB route
The starting point of the mountain bike route is
the junction on the highway from Bol city to Gornji Humac village. Coming from Bol after around 9 km turn left on
the rocky carriageway to the west course. Pass the gate for the cattle and proceed on the steep ascent to
Sveti Duhchapel. From
Sveti Duh chapel proceed to the west and after few hundred meters starts the descent.
The carriageway follows to the plateau near Brač airport. Pass the gate and proceed near the house and the cot. On
the crossroad turn left and proceed on
the rocky trail near the house and stone wall. Pass the gate for the cattle and you will reach
the plateau. Proceed at the south west side of
the plateau. Pass the gate and there is the starting point of
the single track named Mala Staza. Follows the steep downhill section with few turns.
The trail is very rocky and some sections are ruined. After few turns the trail proceeds to the west and on some sections you will have to hike on with the bike. From the trail you can get the nice view at the south coast of Brač island. Near the end of the trail there is
the crossroad with the trail coming from Vidova Gora. Proceed on the south and after few hundred meters you will reach
the paved road for Bol city. For more details check
