EXPERIENCE THE CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE OF THE ISLAND IN AN ACTIVE WAY - BY BICYCLE! DUE TO ITS INDENTED COAST, ITS LENGTH AND RELATIVE LOWLAND CONFIGURATION, THE ISLAND OF PAG IS PERFECT FOR DISCOVERING THE CHARMS OF ACTIVE HOLIDAYS AND FOR ALL GENERATIONS OF CYCLISTS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEVEL OF FITNESS. THE DIVERSE LANDSCAPE OF THE ISLAND OFFERS 130 KILOMETRES OF BICYCLE PATHS; FROM WILD ROCKY LANDSCAPES, RICH GREEN FIELDS, OLD STONE WALLS AND FOREST OASIS TO THE CLEAR WATERS WHERE YOU CAN FIND REFRESHMENT.
The Krka River is a natural karst phenomenon that consists of seven tufa barriers with a total downward gradient of 242 m. The most oft-visited parts of Krka National Park are the Roški and Skradinski Falls.
The town of Pag already had one of the first sundials in Europe at the end of the 19th century. The marker for meridian 15 is roughly 5 km from Pag, on a macadam road, in a tract named after St. Mary Magdalene, with a marble marker set along the intersecting line.
The construction of Pag’s Benedictine Convent of St. Margaret began right after the new town of Pag was established, as a memorial to the former church and convent in the Old Town.
Construction of the Church of St. George, the patron of both the town and the island of Pag, began prior to 1465 and continued until the late 15th century.
A new bridge that connects the new town of Pag with Prosika replaced the early 20th century concrete bridge. The bridge is a somewhat altered replica of an old Venetian bridge built in 1737 based on the design by renowned Venetian architect Giambattista Lodoli.
