The well-marked trail of St. Simeon is a beautiful trail with breathtaking views, diverse landscapes, a beautiful waterfall and even a few cultural attractions. Start and finish is in the heritage-protected village of Gračišće. On a nearby slope, the small church of St. Simeon is located.
The trail is due to the differences in height more challenging and should be walked on hot days with care.
