Geocache Description:


The Mount Srd Hike (Srđ Mountain) in Dubrovnik

Mount Srd (Srđ - pronounced "serdge" and also spelled "Mount Serdj") is the unmissable mountain peak located directly behind the city of Dubrovnik. You'll notice this steep, dominant ridge almost anywhere you go in town.

Mount Srd is part of the Dinaric Alps, and although it's not very tall (~412 meters), it is quite steep, with its summit less than 700 m from the Adriatic Sea.

While the mountain above Dubrovnik looks steep, the trail leading up to its summit is carved in a series of switchbacks. As a result, the gradient is very manageable for most people, with just 255 meters of incline throughout 2.1 kilometers.

This walking trail features a series of switchback turns climbing gently up the mountain. At each turn, you'll see a copper relief dedicated to Jesus. As a result, many locals call his hike the "Way of the Cross", as it's supposed to symbolize Jesus' journey from trial to the tomb.

Furthermore, the track is very wide, well-maintained, and easy to follow. For these reasons, I'd say that climbing Dubrovnik's Mount Srd should be quite easy for most people with a general level of fitness.

Container is a micro, bison type. It is placed several meters down from the main path.
