September 3, 2018 – On September 1 and 2, the Croatian Tourist Board and the Tourist Board of Split-Dalmatia County, in cooperation with local tourist communities, welcomed the RTV Slovenia TV channel to Inland Dalmatia.
Namely, due to the increased interest of Slovenian tourists in Split-Dalmatia County, for the purpose of better informing them, the four-day program was enjoyed by Mojica Mavec, journalist and editor of RTV Slovenia with cameraman Jan Batiljevic. They were accompanied by Metka Bradetić, director of HTZ’s representative office in Slovenia.
The team filmed a television show, featuring the vibrant cultural, historical and natural heritage, and featured the numerous sports activities possible in the region, which will be broadcast on Good Morning Slovenia.
The visit to Trilj began at the Trilj Museum, accompanied by Sanja Budić Leto, Museum Director. With expert guidance, the journalists then visited the archaeological site Tilurij, military camp VII. Roman Legion, and the Gaj Laberije statue at Gardun. The tour continued with a panoramic view of the Nutjak tower, and the legend about Prince Žarko Dražojević and his ravens. They then visited the recently restored bridge over the Cetina river, which grabs the attention of many photographers for its illumination at night.
In Sinj, the Slovenian journalists filmed the City Fortress, and then the fortress of Kamičak. There were visited by the Ivana Mažuranić Elementary School, Obrovac Sinjski – Han, where the members of KUD – Dicmo and KUD – Glavica performed under the leadership of Stipe Jelinčić.

On the way to Sinj, journalists had the opportunity to see the source of Kosinac and the Han bridge. They visited the Sinjska Alka Museum, which was attended by curator Tomislav Barhanović. There, they met the rich past of the town of Sinj, and especially the Battle of Sinj in 1715, which has given worship to the Miraculous Lady of Sinj and the Sinj Alka. They then went to the Sinj Hippodrome, where they learned more about the knight games, the tradition and horse-riding, which was led by Stipe Bogdan and Anđelko Vučković.
Sunday was reserved for outdoor activities. Along with the expert guidance of Maria Jenjić from the Split Outdoor Adventure, the group drove on quads along the Cetina river to the Panj bridge and continued via cycling trails along the Peruča lake to the source of the river Cetina. They had the opportunity to see the Balečki Bridge, then the Pločasti Bridge and the Church of Holy Salvation from IX. century, the oldest old Croatian church with preserved bell towers. 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.
The journalists were delighted and surprised by the potential of Inland Dalmatia. The two shows will be broadcast on Good Morning Slovenia. The first part will feature the Ivana Mažuranić Elementary School on September 3, and the next part will be broadcast at the end of September.
