Biking Vidova Gora - Dol
Overview
This biking tour begins at the top of Vidova Gora, the highest peak of the island Brač, and ends at the seaside.
The path is 22 kilometres long, and it takes about 2:30 hours to cross it. The interesting part of this tour is the completely different vegetation and climate you will experience on the mountain top and at the seaside.
Vidova Gora mountain offers not only the best view on the island, but also pristine nature and a great biking trail. Descending from the mountain, sheltered by the black pines we will go towards the villages.
We will pass through Nerežišća - located on the crossroads of the island's main roads and Škrip – the oldest settlement in Brač, where we will visit the Museum of Oil. The museum presents the traditional process of olive oil making on the island of Brač. The Museum of Oil exhibits olive mill, olive press, spindle for tightening press screw, bags, fireplace for heating water and all traditional tools for transport, production and storage of olive oil.

If you can ride a bike (and know how brakes work) reasonably competently, you should be able to manage this tour. I did this on my 60th birthday. We personally didn’t feel there were any steep inclines, drop-offs or dangerous traffic to fear. It is mostly downhill on reasonably quiet tarmac road surfaces (especially at the start), a short section of slight uphill road in the middle section of the tour and a small amount of mostly level well compacted unmade road/track at the end towards Postira. Our local guide, Daniel, was excellent, freely sharing his enthusiasm and passion for his home island with information and insight about the history, culture, people, flora and fauna of the island, occasionally getting us off the bikes to find some hidden places and views that tourists would not normally find. After the minibus transfer from Supetar, the views at the top of the island from Vidova Gora are spectacular. The varied environment as the altitude changes on the way down provides interest all the way, passing through the villages of Nerezisca and Splitska. The excellent olive oil museum in Skrip gave us a welcome break for tasting the home-produced oil and other local produce. The biking part of the tour ends in Postira, with a minibus transfer back to Supetar. The Brac Adventure team looked after us really well in terms of their helpfulness, friendliness, equipment and transfers etc. They clearly pride themselves on giving their customers a quality personal experience and sharing their knowledge of all the island has to offer. All in all, a great afternoon/evening.S8218YVlauries

The view from Vidova Gora - Dol was breathtaking. The majority of the ride down the mountain required constant and vigilant braking skills. There are parts where you must not take your eyes off the road for even minute or it could be disastrous. Lots of narrow roads with some traffic with steep drops-offs and rarely a shoulder to pull off on to get away from cars. This trip does involve some hill climbing and is not all down hill. I would certainly not take children on this trip. There are too many risks for children who are easily distracted and what child isn't easily distracted? Daniel was a good guide and navigated our way down skillfully and safely. If I had know more details about this trip I would not have taken it.Hellsbells_2012

What a great experience and a completely different way to experience the island! The stop at the Olive Oil Museum was a great way to break up the ride, and the food they served us was fantastic. Definitely don’t forget to take water and some sun cream, as even though you might not think it you definitely catch the rays! The guides taking the tour were so lovely and friendly, if we had more time we’d definitely be doing one of their other tours. Thank you so much and we hope to see you again soon!kuulei7

It’s a nice and easy bike ride down a paved road crossing some beautiful villages in the heart of Brač. Also the early dinner in the olive oil museum in škrip was very delicious followed by a small ride down the coast into the last sunrays. Can recommend it to all easy going cyclists and families.
