The bond between stone and people in Dalmatia
On this small “walk” along the edge of the Šolta field and through the olive groves, I will show you how our ancestors cleared excess stone from the land in order to create more fertile soil, and how they built stone piles (gomile) and small field houses. You will also have the chance to try it yourself — moving stones and building a stone pile.
You will see parts of Šolta that lie outside the usual routes and enjoy views you have probably never seen before.
Part of the tour is done by car and part on foot through the landscape. The walk is neither long nor demanding: we walk about 300 meters and drive about 1.5 kilometers.
Join me on this small “walk” through a part of the Šolta landscape.
