Nature

The Dubrava-Hanzine Special Reserve preserves remnants of the original holm oak forest and is described as the only protected natural area of its kind within the City of Pag. The vegetation in the Dubrava-Hanzine area is adapted to the harsh island climate with strong bora winds and salt-laden spray.

The surrounding area also features a pine forest planted more recently, as well as protected oak forests near Sveta Marija and Dubrava. The beach area of Bošana is about a 15-minute drive from the town of Pag; the sea there is cooler because of springs.

Trails

The 5.8 km-long linear route “Staza Pod okriljem Sv. Vida” includes a 2.9 km-long section through Bošana with beaches, viewpoints over the Bay of Pag, the Dubrava-Hanzine Special Reserve, and the information boards “Šuma Boga Peruna” and “U prirodi nikad nisi sam”. Its starting point is at a viewpoint with a small parking area before Bošana.

The route designated Pg7 also begins at a viewpoint with a small parking area before Bošana. Sv. Vid, located above Bošana, can be reached via a steep and challenging hiking trail. Marked hiking trails to Sv. Vid lead to the summit from Šimuni, Kolan, and Dubrava, among other places.
