Šćah Peak on Ugljan

Šćah Peak on Ugljan is a destination with an extraordinary hiking route that blends the raw beauty of the island's karst with the most open panoramic views of the offshore islands. Accommodation on Ugljan provides the ideal starting point to conquer this peak, especially when the mild spring or autumn sun accompanies a pleasant climb free of the summer heat. Šćah Peak on Ugljan is the highest point of the island at 288 meters above sea level and remains hidden from mass tourism, serving instead as a peaceful sanctuary for true lovers of trekking, solitude, and photography. The trail to the top starts in Lukoran and leads through a labyrinth of centuries-old olive groves and impressive dry stone walls, offering visitors a completely different, wild experience of the island's nature. Once the rugged climb is complete, the bare rocky ridge rewards the effort with an unreal vista that encompasses the dramatic Kornati archipelago on one side and the Zadar Channel on the other. An excursion to the rooftop of Ugljan, especially in the early morning or on clear days when the bura wind sharpens the air, is the perfect way to experience pristine, untouched Dalmatia and feel the energizing power of nature.
