SHORT HIKE I DUGI OTOK 10 km
The short hiking stage of Archipelago Trail Run brings you to Dugi Otok — a place where sea, cliffs, stone and open space create one of the most scenic island landscapes in the Zadar Archipelago.
Starting and finishing in the fishing village of Sali, on the edge of Telašćica Nature Park, the route follows coastal trails through Mediterranean terrain, quiet bays and panoramic viewpoints stretching toward the islands of Kornati National Park.
Perfect for active explorers, casual hikers and everyone who wants to enjoy the archipelago in a slower, more immersive rhythm.
A shorter route, a spectacular setting and a day shaped by sea air, walking and wild Adriatic scenery.

ROUTE FLOW
The day begins in Sali, where the atmosphere of a small fishing village and the proximity of the sea set an easy, relaxed tone.
From the start, the route gradually moves away from the village and into the open landscapes of Telašćica Nature Park, where the terrain shifts between coastal paths, rocky sections and quiet natural surroundings.
As the hike unfolds, the views begin to open — first toward the nearby coastline, and then further out toward the islands of Kornati National Park.
The rhythm stays steady and approachable throughout, with plenty of space to pause, take in the scenery and enjoy the feeling of moving through the island at your own pace.
Returning to Sali, the route completes a full circle — finishing the day in the same place where it began, with that simple and satisfying sense of an island well explored.
