Pavić Bridge
Location: SlimeDifficulty: Very Easy
If you pass through the Omiš hinterland, perhaps while exploring the lower part of the Cetina canyon, there is a high probability that you will cross Pavića Most. It is a favorite stop for cyclists and excursionists on the route between Omiš and Kučiće on one side, and Zadvarje and Slimen on the other.
The decision to build the bridge was made by the Austro-Hungarian authorities in 1893. The bridge was opened to traffic in 1900, and it was named after the imperial governor of the time, nobleman Pavić—originally from Poljica, a historiographer and a great lover of this region.
During World War II, the bridge was mined and partially destroyed. After the war, it was “patched up,” and finally, in 1994, it was fully restored.
Due to its historical and artistic value, it was declared a cultural asset in 2011.
Special
Although our focus is on Croatia, due to great interest in reviewing some international locations from our travels, we decided to launch the Special section. In it, we will not cover locations in the same detailed way we do with Croatian ones, but will instead provide a brief overview of multiple locations grouped into meaningful categories. The only criterion we still strictly follow is that they must be natural attractions.
