Climb Sveti Ilija (1234 m), the highest peak in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, on an old Austro-Hungarian cannon path.
Sniježnica Hiking
Sveti Ilija (1234m), Sniježnica’s highest peak, is the tallest in Dubrovnik-Neretva County, towering over Konavle and the Konavosko field. Start from Mihanići via a shaded, easy trail through macchia and woods—passing a 16th-century St. Nicholas church—to Kuna Konavoska (721m), reaching the summit in 2 moderate hours on an old Austro-Hungarian cannon path. At the 19th-century St. Ilija Chapel, enjoy epic views of Konavle, Dubrovnik Airport, the Elaphiti Islands, Mljet, Korčula, Lastovo and the Pelješac peninsula, and the mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. Every year pilgrims climb to the chapel on Pentecost Monday, and on 26 December mountaineers repeat the traditional climb in memory of the first ascent by Dubrovnik mountaineers in 1928.
