They hiked and trekked with Ante Romac, the Sinj mountain climber who completed the 1,300 km long mountain route Via Dinarica a few months ago, stretching from Slovenia, across Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro to Albania.
As the program was also dedicated to gastronomy, the journalists were presented the traditional offerings in the region, such as prosciutto, young cheese, uštipak, trout, frogs, Sinj arambaša, roasted veal "under the bell”, Dalmatian pašticada and fritula during their stay.
