Vidova

Vidova Gora, commonly referred to simply as Vidova, is the highest peak on the Croatian island of Brač and the highest point of the Adriatic islands, with an elevation of 778 meters above sea level. It lies in Split-Dalmatia County, near the village and tourist town of Bol, at the western end of Brač. The summit sits atop a limestone massif characteristic of the island, with pine forests on its slopes and rugged karst terrain near the top.

Access is primarily by road from Bol, followed by a short walk to the viewpoint, and there are also marked hiking trails from Bol and other parts of the island that lead to the summit. The drive to the top is popular especially during sunrise and sunset; trails vary in length and difficulty.

From Vidova Gora, on clear days visitors enjoy panoramic views across the Adriatic Sea, with the neighboring islands of Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Šolta and the mainland coast visible, potentially extending to the Pelješac Peninsula and Biokovo to the north.

The name Vidova Gora is Croatian for Vidova Mountain; Vidova is thought to derive from a personal name or from the Slavic root vid- meaning "to see" or "view," reflecting its role as a vantage point.
