It can be tempting to take the fastest route, especially when the alternative is an hour slower but why drive on a motorway when you can wind through stunning inland scenery, villages and fortress ruins.
November is rainy season and we have had a mix of downpours, drizzle and bright sunshine. While Mark described the clouds as foreboding, I chose to think of them as atmospheric. They added drama to the steep valleys, rugged rocks and mountains.
Driving from Plitvice towards Makarska was a long and scenic journey with a couple of small towns along the way.
Our lunch spot was at Knin. A town overlooked by a ruined fortress, the view from which was disappointing as it’s rather industrialised. On the plus it did had a lidl to stock up.
We past Peruka Lake which is long and sanded at the outer edges at the moment.
A further hour along the route was the small and pretty town of Sinj. Here we climbed to the ruin and clock tower Kamičak. We rewarded ourselves with a strange sherry jam filled filo pastry.
Slightly off route is the ruin of Nutjak near Trilj. It was dark before we could spot it, but as bedtime spots go this is one of the best! The first and last photos are where we are camped ❤
