The Biokovo-Imotski Lakes UNESCO Global Geopark is situated in central Dalmatia. It sits at a unique intersection of Mediterranean and Central European landscapes and cultures. At the heart of the geopark lies the Biokovo Mountain sporting the third-highest peak in Croatia, St George Peak, reaching 1762 m above sea level. The Vrljika River winds through the fertile Imotski Region, providing locals with vital freshwater sources and excellent conditions for agriculture; it is known locally as the ‘source of sustenance’. The geopark’s natural wonders also include the Red Lake, Europe’s deepest karst lake, formed from the collapse of a massive doline, or sinkhole, and the picturesque Blue Lake, renowned for its crystalline waters. Rich in cultural heritage, the geopark is home to several hundred archaeological sites dating from antiquity to the Middle Ages, including medieval Stećak tombstones.
