Ekskursjoner og aktiv ferie

I Čilipi arrangeres det folklorearrangementer hver søndag fra påske til slutten av oktober. Etter søndagsmessen i St.Nicholas kirken kl.11.15, introduserer den lokale folkloregruppen deg til ulike skikker og tradisjoner fra Konavle. Dette skjer på det lokale torget foran kirken. Et besøk til Čilipi vil også gi deg muligheten til å se fylkeshuset som oppbevarer verdifulle etnologiske gjenstander, og til å kjøpe originale suvenirer ornamentert med det kjente broderiet fra Konavle.

Did you know that two great Croatian artists turned the small town of Cavtat into an important creative hub on the national cultural scene? One was a distinctive painter with over a 1000 works to his name, the other a sculptor whose architectural masterpiece is an astonishing testimony of love and death. Cavtat has an exceptionally long and interesting history. On this guided tour you will travel 2000 years back in time to when Cavtat was the Roman colony of Epidaurum. You will learn about its demise and why very few traces remain. You'll delve into stories of shipwrecks in front of Cavtat port and hear many more fascinating titbits about its history and present.

I landsbyen Popovići, finnes det et lite, men svært profesjonelt ridesenter kalt Kojan Koral. Senteret organiserer halvdags rideturer gjennom noen av de mest billedskjønne områdene i Konavle, og over klipper som tilbyr spektakulær utsikt over Adriaterhavet.

Et nytt tilbud fra Kojan Koral er ATV safari. Dette er et moderne konsept, en eventyrlig felttur hvor du kan utforske Konavle kjørende på små ATV kjøretøy. (Førerkort er ikke påkrevd).

Experience the traditional spirit and genuine village atmosphere on this distinctive excursion taking you for the tourist train ride through vineyards in Konavle.

Ta tak i tøylene og ridetur gjennom Konavle-dalen. Føl det sjelenærende båndet med islandshestene mens du traver gjennom Dubrovniks pittoreske landskap; dens enger og elver, hjem til et blomstrende dyreliv. Ta en forfriskende ettermiddagsdukkert i Ljuta-elven, eller hvil på elvebredden mens hestene leker i vannet. Erfarne ryttere inviteres til å svømme med hestene sine.

Dersom du foretrekker å være ute i naturen på egenhånd er det flere gåstier som gir deg muligheten til å utforske Konavle i eget tempo. Dette gir deg også muligheten til å oppdage fantastiske strender, som ofte kun lokalbefolkningen kjenner til.

Du kan bli kjent med Konavle på sykkel enten ved å bli med på en av våre sykkelruter eller velge en på egenhånd.

Route description

The bicycling route through Donja Banda and Konavle field will lead you through preserved nature and the historical beauties of this region. The route begins on the central square (1) in Čilipi in front of the Church of St. Nikola. Before starting the ride be sure to stock up on enough water, especially during the hot summer days. We begin our ride on a steep street by the children's kindergarten heading south. After 300 m we come to a Y intersection (2) at which we turn left in the direction of Radovčići. At the intersection there is an old chapel built in the autochthonous way with stone. Soon after the Y intersection we continue down the main road towards Radovčići. We need to be cautious on this road due to traffic. After 2.7 km from the start we come to a T intersection (3) at which we turn left in the direction of Komaji. We pass by the winery Crvik. We cycle further in a north direction. For the most part the road is fenced off by dry walls and we also pass through a forest of low lying vegetation and dense underbrush. After Komaji, 3.9 km from the start, we come to winding roads with which we descend into the direction of the Konavle field, however we will not go downhill through the field but rather will at 4.3 km from the start at a Y intersection (4) turn right onto the route of an old narrow railway track. Cycling along winding roads we will adjust to the road conditions and watch out not to miss the Y intersection with the railway route. The route continues along the route of an old narrow railway track which used to connect Dubrovnik and Konavle. Today there are no longer any tracks, however the path is still here. The ride down the railway track is about 1.7 km long and at 6 km from the start, at a Y intersection (5) we turn right onto a gravel road and continue in the direction of the village Kojani. After a short incline we come to a Y intersection (6). At the intersection we turn left and continue down a picturesque and quiet road. At 7.8 km from the start we again come to the main road towards Radovčići on the Y intersection (7) on which we turn left and again we must be cautious while cycling. In the centre of Radovčići we can rest and prepare for the remainder of the route which will first descend to Gruda, and then pass through the Konavle field. In Radovčići at the Y intersections (8), one after the other, 9.4 km from the start, we turn left and descend towards the highway and Gruda. Be cautious when descending. Soon we come to a Y intersection (9) with the highway. Here you must stop. At the highway intersection we cross with care to the other side of the road where we are awaited by a gravel road through a field where we will continue our ride towards Gruda. The gravel road soon turns into asphalt, 11.3 km from the start, and soon we arrive at the locality Gruda. In Gruda we can linger for awhile and if needed stock up on requisites we need for the remainder of the ride or taste in the Dubrovnik cellars. At the T intersection (10) in Gruda we turn left in the direction of Dubravka and Ljuta. We enter the Konavle field which will follow us for the remainder of our ride. After 13.8 km we come to a Y intersection (11) at which we turn left onto a side street in the direction of Ljuta. Be careful when turning left. The rest of the ride continues down a quiet asphalt road through Donja Ljuta (12) in the direction of Pridvorje. From the road, on the right side, we can see the beautiful slopes of Gornja Banda while the left side offers a view of Donja Banda through which we rode through earlier. After 18.5 km we enter Pridvorje and pass next to a Franciscan monastery with the Church of St. Vlaho. We continue down the road towards the airport and Čilipi. Soon we enter the locality Miljasi where we come upon the gallery of the renowned artist Miho Šiša. At the 22.9 km from the start we come to a T intersection (13) at which we turn left towards Čilipi, while the road straight ahead leads to Zvekovica. Soon we come to a winding road and after a ride uphill we come to Čilipi. Before entering the very centre of Čilipi it is necessary to cross the highway intersection (14). Upon crossing we must be very careful. After the intersection the route ends in the centre of Čilipi on the square in front of the Church of St. Nikola which dominates the landscape.
