"After walking the Dubrovnik walls, we toured Fort Lovrijenac, then walked up and across the highway to the trailhead (stopping so my wife could pet every cat in sight). Hiked up the tree-lined switchbacks giving way to incredible views of old town and the Adriatic Sea. We decided to eat dinner at the top and watch the sunset. Hiking down at night with the city lights below was awesome. Ended the long day of sightseeing at a wine bar in old town." — jodola • Oct 18, 2023

"Superb views overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Cavtat and Dubrovnik airport. Dubrovnik old town also visible in the mid distance. Giant stainless steel summit cross, memorial to a 1996 USAF aircraft crash; Strazisce is less than 2 miles off the approach path used by planes landing at Dubrovnik. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_Croatia_USAF_CT-43_crash I did Strazisve using The Ronald Brown Pathway for the most part. You can start from the main road near Cavtat for the full version, or shorten by starting at the mountain village of Velji Do where there’s road access and a bar/restaurant. The well constructed stony trail’s an old Austrian military road (aka ‘donkey track’) just about OK in trainers. Take lots of water in the summer heat! Once you’ve located the trail start point the route is waymarked and easy to follow. Recommend you stick to the Ron Brown trail and summit loop; Do not go via the tiny church (Crkva Sv.Ana, locked closed) like I did. Above the church initially I took a farmers path rising up through pleasant terraces of olives, figs and citrus but the top terraces have fallen into disrepair and the path evaporated amidst unpleasant thorny scrub some distance ..." — davidb • Aug 21, 2021

"Finally after being away from the Mountains a few Months this was a worthy Hike up on Mount Srđ It is a mountain just behind the walled city of Dubrovnik, in Dalmatia, Croatia. Its height is 413 metres, the top of which is adorned with "Fort Imperial", built in 1806-1816 during the Napoleonic Wars. From its top the walled city of Dubrovnik one can enjoy a great View over the Adriatic Sea. It is a fairly exhausting climb to the top, via the serpentine footpath especially in the Hot Afternoon Sun. This mountain home to one of the fiercest battles of the 1991-1995 Croatian War of Independence, namely the Siege of Dubrovnik. What a great way to spend a couple of Hours away from busy Ship Life.
