Saint Elijah Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This mountain house, built in stone, was built by Archduke Karl von Habsburg, because of the hunting of blackbirds. On the hundredth anniversary (2008), the mountaineering society of St. Ilija from Orebić, with the support of the local authorities, began to restore the house. Today, the house has been completely renovated and is located at 800 m above sea level.

Start the Orabic tour and stop at the Panorama Restaurant. Be sure to start early in the morning, between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m., as the midday heat is intense, even on the descent.

May 14, 2025,Super views of Korčula and Orebić big loop 👣

I'd picked this hike out before I came. It features in the top ten on @Komoot Events in the area of Dobrovnic and islands.

Top demanding hike to the 961 meter high Sveti Ilija, the highest mountain on the Pelješac peninsula. Long stretches of the ascent and descent go through the forest, so there is less exposure to the sun than it appears from below.
