Paški Zaljev - a view from Sveti Vid (St. Vitus)

Sveti Vid is the highest peak on the island of Pag and an outstanding destination for tourists and other visitor, boasting a magnificent view of the surroudning towns of Pag, Kolan, Šimuni, Mandre, Košljun… and the islands of Rab, Mali Lošinj, Silba, Olib, Maun, and Lukar. On a clear day, a large part of Velebit National Park is also visible. The ruins of the Church of St. Vitus, a monument of Late Romanesque masonry first mentioned in 1348, can be found at an altitude of 349 m above sea level. There are several trails leading to the peak - a steep one from Dubrava (Pag) (45 minutes) and an easier one from Kolan or Šimuni (75 minutes).
