Visitor Reviews

**★★★★★ Даниел Карамфилов — 5 months ago

Velika and Mala Petka Forest Park is a peaceful green escape just outside Dubrovnik’s busy Old Town. With shaded trails winding through fragrant pine trees, it’s perfect for hiking, jogging, or simply enjoying a quiet walk away from the crowds. The park also offers beautiful viewpoints overlooking the Adriatic Sea and the Lapad Bay, making it a great spot for nature lovers and photographers alike. If you’re looking to unwind and connect with nature, this hidden gem is well worth a visit.

**★★★★★ shipra suryavanshi — 10 months ago

We found this place while walking from our hotel to romantic view point and realised a rocky trail going up the hill. I along with my husband and 8 year old took this trail up and it was so beautiful with forest voices of singing birds and amazing walk along the nature.

**★★★★★ Michael Rittig — a year ago

Great little country park away from the tourist crowds. A circular walk taking in both peaks is about three miles. The cliff top path from the western end of the peninsula up to Mala Petka offers stunning vistas and is definitely worth doing, whereas the continuation up to Velika Petka was quite disappointing and without any merit.

**★★★★☆ Stefano Ragni — 5 months ago

A very big park -forest like- organized differently from the other parks I have encountered in my travels. It is actually an ascending walking trail (the road is tarmac) that follows the hill/mountain to the top. I have only ascended half of it, but it has been a pleasant walk that far. I like the fact that there are benches at the side of the road.

**★★★★☆ Aleksejs Ivashuk — a year ago

Nice hike up that does not allow any cars. There is only one decent spot for a viewpoint, though, where the bench is at. The very top is anti-climactic: there is just an ugly antenna at the top and not much else to see.

A nice place to get away from the tourists.
