Life on Mars Trail Entrance – Ručica

Highlight • Trail

If u do the whole loop: beware (!!!) of the last segment (as indicated by the alert in the directions) taht comes after u start going up from the last beach. You'll leave the marked trail, hike up until the mountain ridge. After that, you'll be descending a gravel unmarked path between rocky peaks. This part is especially dangerous: steep unstable gravel, with sharp unstable rocks without much to hold on to. We were doing the whole trail with only ankle trail shoes and we're quite worried about our descent. Coming from experienced alpine hikers. Take care and reconsider doing this part of the trail and rather choose to continue on the marked trail. Take care

Climbing Rock on Pag

Highlight • Climb

This rock, reminiscent of a menhir, is a popular spot for climbers. Various routes lead to its summit, from which you can enjoy a top view. Nothing for beginners and only accessible with climbing equipment.

Secluded Beach on the Life on Mars Trail

Highlight • Beach

Fantastic little bay with a fine pebble beach... because it can only be reached on foot via the Life on Mars Trail... you're often alone here. The 1-hour hike is definitely worth it!

Life on Mars Trail

Highlight • Trail

Good shoes and enough water with food are a must if you want to hike the entire Life on Mars Trail.
The path often leads over stones and impassable terrain, offers hardly any shade and no waterholes.
If you bring all this with you, you will be rewarded with numerous small bays and deserted beaches.

This afternoon we took a trip to Metajna to the Life on Mars Trail.

A beautiful hike past impressive rocks, hidden romantic beaches and with wonderful views from the peaks. We then had a well-deserved dinner in Konoba Težak, again with a wonderful view 🤗😇

Away from mass tourism. Take enough water with you! Reward: relatively lonely bay.

A strenuous tour in summer. Not only does the sun burn your head, there is also no shade and the path itself is not particularly pleasant to walk. That is at least true for our first section of the route. So take plenty of water with you! Admittedly, we apparently did not take the classic trail, but we wanted to …
