The Olive Road is one of the most beautiful walking trails in Dubašnica, offering a unique experience of the centuries-old tradition of olive growing. This 3-kilometer circular trail begins in the picturesque village of Porat, a former fishing port, where the Monastery of St. Mary Magdalene is located, along with Glagolitic monuments and an old olive mill for processing olives.
 

The route leads through dense oak forests and alongside dry-stone walls that border rich olive groves, testifying to the bond between people and nature. The olive tree, a symbol of life and resilience, has been present on the island of Krk since ancient times, and its olive oil carries the EU’s protected designation of origin.
 

This walk is not merely recreational, but also an opportunity to discover cultural heritage and authentic island gastronomy. At the end of the trail, it is recommended to enjoy local specialties enriched with premium Krk olive oil.
