The Biokovo Road (Croatian: Biokovska cesta) is, at 1,762 m.a.s.l., the highest road in Croatia. It is a one-lane access road that branches out from the D512 Makarska-Vrgorac state road at 365 m.a.s.l. and ends at Sveti Jure, the highest peak of Biokovo and the third highest peak in Croatia.[1][2][3]
The road is windy, steep and narrow, only 3 to 4 meters wide near the top, and is not recommended for less skilled drivers.[2][3]
Biokovo Road was originally built up to 897 m.a.s.l. by the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1878. In 1964, it was extended to the top of the mountain in order to install a television transmitter there. The road was paved in 1978.[3][4][5]
