Places of interest:
Behind the Cross: The yearly religious procession “Za Križen” (Behind the Cross), inscribed as an intangible UNESCO heritage back in 2009, is a special experience. It has been taking place for nearly five centuries uninterrupted. On the night from Maundy Thursday to Good Friday, the Procession passes through 6 villages on the island. At the same time, around 22:00hrs, the processions start from six parish churches with a bare-foot cross-bearer ahead, followed by acolytes carrying candles and lanterns. While passing through the villages and hills medieval chorales are chanted. They stop in front of churches and chapels in other villages and return to their starting point in the morning at around 07:00. Our village Vrisnik is one of those villages. From our terrace you have a perfect view on this event that is also closely followed by Croatian TV.
Polje: The other special phenomena is the Stari Grad Plane, “Polje”. The agricultural activity (today mostly wine growing) here has been uninterrupted for thousands of years and in all those years the land parcel system of this vast area has not been changed. It is therefore that this Plane was inscribed on the UNESCO List of the World Heritage sites in 2008, in order to prevent degradation. You can also cycle through the plain, it is fifteen minutes from our house and it is comfortably flat!
