The Church of the Holy Cross Nin The Church of the Holy Cross, or as they say the smallest cathedral in the world, is the most important preserved monument of old Croatian sacral architecture and a symbol of Nin. It was built in the 9th century, in the era of early Christianity. Due to the position of the windows and the angles of the incidence of light, the church also serves as a calendar. The exact date of the solstice and equinox can be determined on the basis of the incidence of light. There are some stonemason art to admire The Roman temple In the centre, are the remains of a Roman monumental temple, once the largest temple on the Adriatic east coast. One of the remains is a Corinthian column, 17m high.

Bollard, holding pile or ship fastener , which is a short, thick pile to secure ships. Bollards are usually cast in the shape of mushrooms or hooks around which the lines are placed to secure the ship. PIP1+2 Even if the bollards are already very rusty, the two ships will certainly still hold ;-)

PIP1+2: Zaton Our base for a week is reached and the beer is hard earned;-), first explorations by bike and on foot in and around Zaton. PIP3+4: View over to the National Park Paklenica and the Velebit Mountains The area of Velika and Mala Paklenica was declared a national Park in 1949. The main reason that this area became a national park was to protect the largest forest complex on the territory of Dalmatia, which was threatened by overexploitation. The total area of the park is 96 square kilometers, and it provides a habitat for rare and protected animal species. Chamois, deer, brown bears, lynxes, wolves, short-toed eagles, and griffon vultures live in the park, and some poisonous reptiles such as horned vipers and adders live in the Velebit Mountains. PIP5: Well closed and rusty this gate still does its good service ;-)

Sveti Juraj a fishing village on the Croatian coast, with 961 inhabitants. The village lives mainly from tourism and fishing. The bay of the village offers sheltered anchorages for small boats.

We continue towards Croatia to Zaton, via Trieste, Rijeka and Starigrad . PIP1-3: During a stopover we take a look at an extraordinary building It has been connecting the mainland with the island of Krk for almost 40 years. The reinforced concrete arch bridge is still considered one of the most interesting structures in the area. The Krk Bridge is also important for the city of Rijeka, because Rijeka's international airport is located on the island. In 1976, the construction of the Krk Bridge began in order to create a car connection to the island. When it was opened in 1980, the Krk Bridge was the widest-span concrete arch bridge in the world. The salty sea water and the fierce bora winds leave marks on the bridge. The winds can become so strong that the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic and the weathering from the sea water will sooner or later force a new bridge to be built.
