From there we stride for about 1,5 hours and we reach Kuna Konavoska at 730 m where we make a pause and enjoy in domestic produce of Konavle Region (cheese, prosciuto, home baked bread). After the pause we continue to te top of Snijeznica. we need two hours of hiking to reach the top and the height of 1234 m, thus reaching the highest peak in Dubrovnik Region and the chapel of St. Ilija.

Nowadays a great cross is located at the sight of the crash.

Žuljana Track - Organised transport brings us to the town of Žuljana on peninsula Pelješac from where we will start our climb by a narrow track made for fire-prevention purposes. The track will take us through the dense wooded slopes to the top of the 469 m high Sv. Ivan hill. The amazing view from the top of the hill reaches even to the islands of Mljet and Korcula. After the climb we get back to Zuljana for the possibility of visit to a local winery and an organised lunch break.
