City of Vodice
Day of the
The city celebrates the most special day in the calendar. The occasion will be marked from the

FROM THE EDITOR
Mark Thomas
mark.thomas@sibenik-times.com
Welcome to our beautiful city
and to the fourth edition of the
second season of “The Sibenik Ti-
mes”. It’s a big week for the Sibe-
nik County with plenty of things
to do and see. A week of events in
which we can enjoy not only the
tastes and aromas of cuisines but
also the sights and sounds of bra-
ss bands and processions. Firstly
the town of Skradin is hosting
an Eco Fair in which naturally
based products will be on offer
to try and buy. The event will last
for two days from the 1st to the
2nd of May and after the previ-
ous years it should prove to be a
big hit. I personally am a fan of
naturally grown and produced
foods and drinks and avoid GM
enhanced foods like the plague.
The second, and by no means le-
ss important event, is the Day of
the City of Vodice. Although this
special day for the city is only on
one day the program is full and
will last a full week. City Days are
very important in Croatia and are
greatly respected and always pull
big crowds. The city is Vodice is
one of the most picturesque not
only in the Sibenik County but al-
so on the Dalmatian coast. If you
have time to catch up with one
of the events whilst in the area I
would strongly recommend it, if
only to use it as an excuse to visit
Vodice. With all these events and
happenings I’m keeping my fin-
gers tightly crossed that the weat-
her doesn’t let us down. If we are
to believe what the forecasters
tell us, and I don’t, then we’re in
for a mixed week. However my
optimistic side tells me that the
sun will shine non-stop. «
SPEAK UP!
We would love to hear from you.
Please write or send an e-mail to
us about your stay in Sibenik. Yo-
ur comments are valuable to us
and the most interesting letters
will be published every week. In-
teresting and unusual photos are
also welcome. Thanks.
THURSDAY
APRIL 30TH 2009.
More than 60,000 tourists ha-
ve spent their Eastern holidays
on the Adriatic coast, as many
as during the best past Croatian
tourism seasons. It was also ten
per cent more than expected,
according to the daily Slobod-
na Dalmacija. Istria welcomed
30,000, and Split-Dalmatian
county 6,500, tourists. Two
hundred hotels were open on
the Adriatic coast. According
to the Zadar tourist board, the
Zadar area was visited by 5,000
to 6,000 tourists. Zadar tourist
board head Zvonko Supe sa-
id today (Tues): "This was the
best Easter since the end of the
war. It appears the season will
be good despite many negative
prognoses. We are pleased that
so many tourists from Austria,
Germany, Slovenia, Spain and
Hungary were here this year.
Also, thanks to Ryanair, we have
had 450 guests from Scandina-
vian during the last three days."
CROATIAN ISLANDS VOTED AS THE
MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD
The readers of the Spanish
issue of the Conde Nast Traveler
magazine has awarded the first
prize to the "islands of the Cro-
atian Adriatic" in the category of
the most beautiful islands in the
world. Readers of the magazine
in voted in fifteen categories,
for the best city hotel, best re-
sort, best wellness-central, the
best destination, beautiful city,

TOURIST SEASON OFF TO
A SUCCESSFUL START
Supe added that many Croats
had also visited Zadar this year.
With 3,500 passengers thus far
in April, Zadar airport has had
double the number compared to
the same month last year, accor-
ding to the 057info.hr website.
Most passengers arrived on Rya-
nair from London, Edinburgh,
Dublin, and Stockholm and on
Germanwings from Cologne and
Stuttgart. In the last three days,
Split airport has seen the arrival
and departure of 6,000 tourists,
of whom 4,500 were foreigners.
Twenty per cent of the hotels on
the coast have reported better
results than last year. According
to the Dubrovnik tourist board,
around 5,000 guests spent their
Easter holidays in the Dubrov-
nik area, an increase of 30 per
cent compared to last year. Most
guests were from Spain, France,
Great Britain, Italy and Japan,
but there were also many Cro-
ats.

CROATIAN NAUTICAL TOURISM
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
The Croatian Government adopted a strategy for
the promotion of nautical tourism over the next ten
years, according to which no more than 15,000 ber-
ths would be built during that period, as opposed to
33,000 as initially planned by regional authorities.
The strategy specifies 15 top locations, which are:
Rovinj, Pula - St. Katharine, Rijeka - Porto Baros, No-
valja, Pakostane, Zadar, Sibenik - Mandalina, Dugi
Rat, Split - Znjan, Marina, Vis, Dubrovnik - Gruz,
Slano, Orebic and Vela Luka. Over the next ten ye-
ars the Croatian Government estimates and plans to
construct 5 thousand new berths in existing ports
and marinas; 5 thousand berths will be built in new
ne company and others. In the locations along the Croatian coast and islands, as

THE FIRST SOLAR-POWER PLANT WILL BE BUILT IN SIBENIK
The first Croatian solar-power plant will
be built in Promina municipality, northe-
ast of Tribunj, in Sibenik-Knin county. The
municipality’s urban plan reserves around
250 hectares of land for the power plant,
the daily Jutarnji list has reported. If the
local government agrees, the first solar-
power plant will be build by the Zagreb
Nexus investment fund. Nexus represen-
tatives Miha Jager and Marko Mahek
said today (Tues) the solar-power plant
would have a capacity of 60 MW, 10 MW
CROATIA - ONE OF THE COOLEST
DESTINATIONS FOR THE BRITS
British newspaper "Mirror" selected Croatia,
Egypt, Turkey and Hungary as the most attractive
and the coolest destinations for British tourists for
this year. "Mirror" claims that, because of the global
financial crises if holidaying in one of these four co-
untries you’ll get the best value for your money. Al-
though Greece and Spain remain high on the holiday
wish list, the real bargains are outside the Euro Zone,
where you can enjoy the sun, sea and fine food for
much less. In Croatia prices for hotels, restaurants,
spa centres, and boat travel, are usually around 20
percent lower than in other European countries.
SIBENIK SCHOOLS OFFER SPECIAL PROGRAM
The maritime school "Adriamare" in
Sibenik is starting a new educational pro-
gramme the aim of which is to teach sea-
farers how to deal with pirates. Adriama-
re head Nikolina Cigic said today (Weds)
Croatian seafarers would be among the
first in the world to learn about pirates
and their tactics and aims. Cigic added
students would also learn how to avoid
their ambushes and how should one beha-
ve if captured by pirates. The educational
programme will also provide information
about negotiating with pirates, the daily
Slobodna Dalmacija has reported. Captain
Gordan Baraka, one of Adriamare’s fo-
unders, said: "At this moment, more than
20,000 Croatian sailors are on 5,000 to
6,000 ships around the world, and that is
a huge number. All of them are potential

more than the first and only European
solar-power plant in Spain. The plant,
construction of which will take two years
and employ 300 workers, will cost aro-
und 80 million Euros. Once finished, the
plant will employ almost 100 workers, 80
per cent of whom will be specialists. The
Nexus representatives added that Croatian
technology and equipment would be used
in construction of the plant. Jager and Ma-
hek added Nexus wanted to build another

victims of pirates, who are becoming the
global threat of the 21st century." In its
educational programme, Adriamare will
use the experience and knowledge of Isra-
eli maritime companies, the ships of which
pirates avoid because Israeli crews know
how to deal with them. The programme
has been set up according to the criteria of
the International Maritime Organization
(IMO). Lecturers will be Croat seafarers,
maritime inspectors, managers and capta-
ins who have dealt with or been captured
by pirates. The course will start in June.
Adriamare was the first school to offer
educational programmes for seafarers on
safety on the sea 20 years ago, and it ho-
sted a world conference on safety on the
sea two years ago. The school is also pla-
nning a world conference on piracy.

ounty - Primosten
Around The C
Primošten is certainly one
the most beautiful places on the
Adriatic coastline. It gets its na-
me from the peninsular on whi-
ch it is situated and which until
the 16th century was detached
from the mainland. In 1542, in
the days when the Turkish we-
re conquering the area, the lo-
cal inhabitants built a movable
bridge together with towers and
fortifications so they could de-
fend themselves from enemies.
When the Turkish retreated and
the threat of invasion ceased the
bridge was destroyed and in its
place an embankment was con-
structed which is still in place to-
day. Today a network of narrow
side streets criss-cross the pe-
ninsular with typical Dalmatian
walls, buildings and architecture.
The town’s skyline is dominated
by the church St. Jurja, whose
THURSDAY
APRIL 30TH 2009.
foundations were laid in 1760.
Inside this beautiful church are
kept precious paintings such as
The Virgin Mary (which has a
solid silver frame) and St. Maria
with St. Luke (painted in 1719)
as well as a graveyard with a
spectacular panorama. This,
however, isn’t the oldest church
in the area. This honour goes to
St. Jere which was constructed
in 1460 and is located in Široke
near to Primošten. Due to the
location and climate, Primošten
has been recognised as a tou-
rist destination for a long time.
In fact tourist development go-
es back at least fifty years. The
symbol of tourism in the area
is the hotel complex Primošten,
which despite being damaged in
the Homeland War and losing
some of its capacity, has kept its
image and has been renovated
in the last few years. Primošten
also has a strong history with wi-
ne production and olive growing
and with these roots has deve-
loped “rural” tourism recently
in the surrounding countryside.
Apart from the already esta-
blished production of domestic
smoked ham (pršut) and cheese,
the area is also now famous for
the development of ecologically
friendly foods including chick
peas, lentils, beans and of cour-
se the unmistakeable olive oils.
The most well known product of
this area is almost certainly the
red wine “Babić”, which is pro-
duced from grapes grown in the
Bucavac region. These vineyards
have the official status of a mo-
nument to “peoples work” and
a painting depicting them hangs
from a reception hall in the UN
headquarters in New York. In
close proximity to Primošten lies
the marina Kremik. The beauty
of this marina is unique on the
Adriatic Sea and it is certainly
one of the safest and most well
protected marinas in the region.
It is defended from winds from
all four points of the compass
and is well used by mariners
from all over the world, there
are also an organised diving and
surfing clubs. It is also possible
to anchor yachts, with a draft up
to 3.5 meters, close to the town
of Primošten. But care must be
taken because the port is open
to winds from the south and
west and good attention must
be taken when mooring and an-
choring. Apart from the rich ga-
stronomic offer the town has to
offer there are a number of other
interesting activities for guests.
For younger guests and the “yo-
ung at heart” a disco, “Aurora” is
situated on the hill overlooking
the town, which is in fact the
largest in this part of the Adri-
atic. Two important events for
the area are the traditional “Pri-
mošten Festival” and the “Primo-
šten delicacies” which are held
in the first week of August. Also
mention must be made of the
art gallery “Sfere” as well as the
ambient gallery “Kamene Sfere”.
In Primošten there is also a ballet
school, run by the famous ballet
experts Ane Roje and Oskar Har-
moš. There are also plans to turn
the Orson Welles’s former villa
into a museum. The world famo-
us actor fell in love with the area
so much that he planned to live
here permanently; unfortunately
his premature death ended his
dream of enjoying his Primošten
vision. «

Eco & Ethno Fair 2009 in Skradin
Once again the city of Skra-
din will play host to another Eco
& Ethno Fair. For two days from
the 1st till the 2nd of May stands
and stalls will fill the streets of
Skradin with the exotic flavours
and enticing scents. The fair is
gaining in popularity year after
year and this time the fair sho-
uld prove to be bigger and better
than even before. So what does
our host for these two days of-
fer us in terms of gastronomy?
Skradin has in many ways kept
its rich traditional history and
this can be seen best in the cui-
sine still served there today.

PEKA - DISHES COOKED UNDER A METAL BELL
Skradin is well known for its preparation of dishes under a large metal or ce-
ramic cover. It is used to cover the food and then coals and hot ashes are scat-
tered on top. This way the food stays succulent and has a specific flavour. Lamb
or veal prepared in this way is especially appetizing but also octopus or rooster
with side potatoes and vegetables. At Bribirska Glavica the evidence of a rooster
prepared in this manner has been discovered dating from the Liburnian period!!

Interview
Mr. Josip Brnadi
•• The city has organized a
week full of events, which
ones will you attend?
Actually, the City of Vodice
together with all sporting and
cultural associations are the jo-
int organisers of all the events
planned during the “Day of the
City.” As Hotel Punta is situated
right next to the St. Cross church
from which the main procession
will start we will prepare a buffet
table with traditional cakes and
drinks and treat all the partici-
pants of the procession. Also we
will arrange accommodation for
all the participants of the bicyc-
le race as well as awarding the
winner with a gala lunch in the
hotel.
•• How has “Dan Grada” chan-
ged since you were a child?
“Day of the City” of Vodice
wasn’t celebrated on this date
through my childhood, in fact
it was celebrated on the city’s
independence day at the be-
ginning of November.
Mr. Josip Brnadić,
direktor Hotela Punta
•• Ovog tjedna u gradu se odr-
žava mnoštvo različitih doga-
đanja, jeste li planirali posjeti-
ti koji od njih?
Zapravo, Grad Vodice je za-
jedno sa svim sportskim i kul-
turnim udrugama, organizator
svih događanja povodom "Dana
Grada", a naš hotel "Punta", kako
se nalazi uz crkvu sv. Križa od
koje kreće procesija na Dan Gra-
da, pripremi stol sa autohtonim
kolačima i pićima, te počastimo
ljude koji sudjeluju u toj pro-
cesiji. Također sudjelujemo i u
oranizaciji smještaja sudionika
biciklističke utrke, te u progla-
šenju pobjednika utrke sa sveča-
nim ručkom u hotelu.
•• Je li se proslava “Dana gra-
da” promijenila odkad ste Vi
bili dijete?
"Dan Grada" kroz moje dje-
tinjstvo se nije slavio na ovaj
datum, već je to bio "dan oslo-
bođenja" Grada - početkom 11.
mjeseca.
•• Kakva će po Vama biti ovo-
godišnja sezona u Vodicama?
Moje mišljenje za nadolazeću
sezonu je da ni nas ova kriza ne-
može totalno zaobići, premda sa
činjenicom da smo najbliže toplo
more u Evropi na turističkom tr-
žištu trenutno stojimo bolje od
drugih mediteranskih destinaci-
•• What are your opinions abo-
ut the current summer season
in Vodice?
My opinion for the coming se-
ason is that this current financi-
al crisis can’t completely destroy
the whole season. Given the fact
that we are one of the closest de-
stinations, as far as warm seas
are concerned, in the whole of
Europe means that we are cu-
rrently in a much better situa-
tion than other Mediterranean
destinations. My opinion is that
we will have a total minus of 5%
on last year, which would mean
that are normal 5 – 10% increase
that we have experienced over
the last few years would be hard
to reach. I have to mention that
last years drop in the amount of
guests from Italy, who are our
traditional guests, is worrying
and something we need to
work on. As far as the business
of Hotel Punta is concerned for
the first four months of this ye-
ar we have seen an increase of
ja, prognoziram da će ukupni
minus biti oko 5%, s tim da
treba računati da neće biti
onog kontinuiranog godiš-
njeg porasta od 5-10% s ko-
jim smo dosad uvijek radili.
Turisti će se odricati nekih
drugih putovanja (kao što
imamo podatke o padu po-
sjeta turista Pragu, Londonu,
itd.), dok se odlaska na lje-
tovanje neće odreći, eventu-
alno će se smanjiti potrošnja
u restoranima i trgovinama.
Moram napomenuti da proš-
logodišnji pad dolazaka, inače
vjernih gostiju iz Italije moramo
prekinuti i nekim ad hoc akcija-
ma taj trend vratiti na prijašnje
nivoe. Što se tiče poslovanja ho-
tela "Punta" za prva 4 mjeseca
ove godine, bilježimo porast od
gotovo 30%, što je više nego do-
bra najava nadolazeće sezone.
•• Kako biste Vi u tri riječi naj-
bolje opisali proslavu “Dana
grada”?
Kao i svake godine, hotel
"Punta" će nastojati održati
trend povećanja broja dolaza-
ka, noćenja i financijskih rezul-
tata kroz različitosti ponude i
podizanja kvalitete usluge. Na-
stojimo našim gostima pružiti
što bolju uslugu, osjećaj ugode
i pristupačnosti svakom gostu, a
30%, which is much more than
we had expected.
•• What are your expectations
for Hotel Punta for this year?
Like every year Hotel Punta
will continue to maintain the
trend of increasing the number
of incoming guests, overnight
stays and the overall financial
result though varying offers and
by raising the quality of our ser-
vice. We will continue to provide
our guests the best standards in
service, comfortable surroundin-
gs and looking after every guest
in the way we know. When gue-
sts come back to the hotel this is
the best advert for us. Of course,
the management of the whole
destination plays an important
role in the whole strategy of
Vodice, because without a
strategy and a clear
vision the whole
resort will not be
able to achieve
the required
results. «

Naravno, menadžment desti-

ulogu, jer bez strategije i
vizije destinacije nemogu se
ostvarivati rezultati kojima
se teži. «

History of the
Sibenik excels among all Croatian
towns on the Adriatic coast by its unique
location in a picturesque and large bay,
at the mouth of the Krka River. Created
initially as a fortification or a campus, be-
neath the St. Michael’s Fortress that still
dominates the town, Sibenik was menti-
oned for the first time in 1606, in a do-
cument issued by the most important of
Croatian rulers - the king, Petar Kresimir
IV. Sibenik obtained its status of a town
in 1298, when the Diocese of Sibenik
was established. A view of Sibenik reve-
als the unique harmony of urban poetics
of the town and its natural surroundings.
The harbor, connected with the open sea
by the St. Anthony Strait, has been the
initiator of development of sailing, tra-
ding and the overall economic prosperity
of the town for centuries. At the entrance
into the straight, there is the fortress of
St. Nicholas, the most important rena-
issance fortress at the eastern coast of
the Adriatic. The town is surrounded by
the fortresses of St. Michael, St. John
and Subićevac that, together with the
fortress of St. Nicholas, make the sym-
bol of the centuries long no subjugation
of Sibenik, confirmed in the recent Ho-
meland War. St. Jacob’s, the cathedral
of Sibenik, built for over a century, is a
testimony of persistency, sacrifice and
belief of the generations of inhabitants
of Sibenik. By many things it is unique
not only in Croatian architecture, but in
European design as well: it is entirely
built of stone, no other material being
used; it is unique by the brave structure
of stone slabs and ribs, with no binding
material; it is also unique among renais-
sance churches by its trefoil front facade;
finally, it is unique by the harmony of its
architecture and the row of 71 realistic
sculptural portraits around the apses.
Documents preserved from the time of
building of the cathedral evidence con-
tributions from the entire community to
its building, but from many individuals
as well, including large number of do-
mestic stone-dressers, builders and arti-

sans. The most important among them
is Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac, who came
from Zadar and who the town of Sibenik
commissioned in 1441 to take over the
job of the proto-master of the cathedral
of Sibenik. The cathedral and the nearby
renaissance town hall, other churches,
palaces, and the Prince’s Palace presently
housing the County Museum, make pro-
bably the most beautiful town square of
the Croatian urban heritage. In the 15th,
and the 16th century Sibenik was among
the Croatia’s most important centers of
humanism and renaissance. They're li-
ved and worked writers Juraj Sižgorić,
Antun and Faust Vrančić, Petar Divnić
and Ivan Polikarp Severitan, composers
Ivan Sibenčanin, Julije Skjavetić and Ivan
Lukačić, historian Dinko Zavorović, pain-
ters Nikola Vladanov and Juraj Čulinović,
printers Martin Kolunić - Rota, Horacije
Fortezza and Natal Bonifacij, and many
sculptors and builders of the Juraj Ma-
tejev Dalmatian's circle. The scientist
and visionary, lexicographer and writer,
philosopher and teologist, Faust Vrancic,
is the best known figure of the Croatian
renaissance. The writer of the first Cro-
atian dictionary as well as the author
of the famous book of inventions, Mac-
hinae novae. Among many ideas, there
outstands the drawing of homo volans,
the flying man, the first printed pictu-
re of a parachute flight in history. The
14th century church and monastery of
St. Francis, the first Croatian national
shrine of St. Nikola Tavelić, has been an
important ecclesiastical and cultural cen-
ter for centuries. In the monastery collec-
tion, there are over 150 incunabula and
that many valuable manuscript codexes,
including the famous Sibenska molitva,
the first Croatian poetry text written in
the Latinism script. In the church, there
are organs made by well-known Croatian
organ designer of the 18th century, Pe-
tar Nakić, preserved in the original form.
The present vivid cultural life of Sibenik
is evident in the traditional International
Children Festival of Sibenik. «

The cuisines of Sibenik The cuisine of Sibenik and
the islands follows the trend
of modern nutritional cooking.
The brief thermal preparation
of foodstuffs (mainly boiling
or grilling) and plenty of fish,
olive oil, vegetables and home-
grown herbs found near the sea
is why this cuisine is considered
to be very healthy. Meals along
the Dalmatian coast are hea-
vily influenced by their Italian
ancestry which is why the coa-
stal resorts tend to fill up with
Italians in summer. Often the
meals begin with a nice plate of
pasta; black risotto or spaghetti
in squid ink sauce is especially
popular.
Dalmatian cuisine relies hea-
vily on the fresh fish and seafo-
od that are caught (or farmed)
offshore. Look for sea bass, gro-
uper, scorpion fish, pilchards,
mackerel, squid and sea bream.
Fish is usually grilled with local
olive oil, garlic and lemon. Regi-
ons with an abundance of fresh
water are famous for their frog,
eel and river crab dishes.
Meat isn't forgotten either.
Thin slices of smoked Dalmati-
an ham (pršut) are often on the
appetizer list. Lamb is popular

either boiled or baked. Dalmati-
an pasticada is a meat stew (beef
stuffed with lard and roasted in
wine and spices) often served
with gnocchi. One local delica-
cy is dishes baked under an iron
bell this is a traditional method
of cooking meat and vegetable
dishes in a metal dome buried in
glowing embers. If you plan on
trying this style of cooking then
restaurants will normally need
up to 3 hours notice in advance
to prepare the food, although it
is well worth the wait.
Connoisseurs of cheese must
try all the different cheeses on
offer. In the markets one finds a
thick white cheese sold in little
plastic sacks and usually eaten,
as an accompaniment to a salad,
with salt and pepper. Paski sir, a
hard cheese from the isle of Pag,
is an excellent cheese and one of
the most reputed.
Typical Dalmatian desserts
win the heart with their simpli-
city. The most usual ingredients
include Mediterranean fruit,
dried figs and raisins, almonds,
honey, egg.
Famous wines include Dingac
and Postup then there are Posip
and Grk, etc. And also Prosecco
(a sweet dessert wine), the very
strong grape (loza) and herbal
brandies (travarica, grapes wi-
th medicinal herbs) and lique-
urs. The Croatian beers most
frequently drunk are Ozujsko
beer and Kariovacko beer, both
of which are excellent. Foreign
beers tend to be more expensive,
so unless you have a preferen-
ce for a particular foreign beer
you’ll do no wrong choosing
Croatian.
The Sibenik County offers a
wide range of places to dine.
They range from rustic charm
to silver service, catering for all
manner of special occasions.
The menus of restaurants in Si-
benik are mainly based on local
specialties. Although recently
a wider variety of cuisines has
emerged. The working hours of
most restaurants are from 11.00
- 24.00, although it is normally
never a problem if you wish to
stay longer. The price includes
taxes, but the service charge
is almost never included and
is not mandatory. It is a custo-
mary, however, that if you are
satisfied with the service a 10%
tip of the total amount is usu-
ally a fair tip.«

Zaton

A village in the north-we- her settlements, Zaton was also

stern part of Šibenik harbor in
a bay of the same name, only
10 km from Šibenik. Near the
village, on a bend, is "Tradan"
Cave, where various archeolo-
gical remains from the Neoli-
thic to the Roman Age were
discovered.
These include coins of the
Emperors Traian and Justin,
and stone utensils. Like all ot-
damaged by the Turks in 1576
- 1577. An asphalt road links
Zaton with the Adriatic Tourist
Road. It branches of at the mo-
dern Šibenik bridge, and there
are good bus links between Za-
ton and Šibenik. More recently
Zaton has become interesting
for visitors because its lovely
pine woods, bays and complete
peace offer a pleasant holiday.

Medieval Mediteranean Garden Aci Marina Vodice

The Sibenik County
Sibenik-Knin County is a co-
unty in Croatia, located in nor-
th-central Dalmatia. Its center
is Sibenik; other notable towns
are Knin, Drniš and Skradin.
The county covers 3000 km²
and has over 110 000 inha-
bitants. It also includes 242
islands and national parks Krka
and Kornati.
Medieval Mediteranean Gar-
den of St Lawrence Monastery
(MMG) in Šibenik was restored
and opened on 6th November
2007 after being forgotten about
for a hundred years. MMG is an
integral part of the St Lawren-
ce Monastery and an integral
part of the programs that the
Sibenik Private Gimnasium has
developed. The restoration pro-
ject of MMG was completed by
renowned landscape architect,
Dragutin Kiš, who received the
Millenium Award for Flora in Ja-
pan, 2000. This particular type
of garden is notably rare, as it is
the only one of its kind in Cro-
atia, and there a vey few in this
part of Europe.
ACI marina lies in the north-
eastern part of the Vodice harbo-
ur (Vrulje cove) and is protected
by two breakwaters. In the year
1999 ACI marina Vodice was
awarded the "European Blue
Flag". The marina is a winner
of a prestigious "European blue
flag" award six years in a row
now.

Dinara Mountain

Dinara is a mountain range,

20 km long and 10 km wide
and at the same time, it is the
highest mountain peak in Croa-
tia (1831m). It is famous for the
longest cliff in Croatia, which is
6 km long. Dinara is the first
Croatian mountain of proven
natural beauties and special
aesthetic experiences, even a
source of inspiration for poets
(Petar Zoranić: Planine (Moun-
tains), 1536).
It provides inexhaustible
potentials for hunting, riding,
trekking, alpinism, cave explo-
ration, speleology, kite-flying,
paragliding, bike and SUV to-
urs and other forms of day-trips,
nature and adventure tourism.
To climb Dinara, one must be
experienced in mountaineering,
even though approach roads are
marked at various spots.

Bring the evaporated milk and regular milk to a
very gentle boil in a double boiler. While waiting
for the milk to boil, in a separate bowl mix togeth-
er the yolks, granulated sugar and vanilla sugar
at medium speed with a mixer. Add flour to the
yolk mixture until blended. Remove 2 cups of milk
from the double boiler. Add this milk to the flour
mixture while continuously beating at low speed.
When blended, return this mixture to the milk still
in the double boiler and continue to cook until
thick while stirring very frequently. Mix together
gelatin with the cold water, let stand for 1 minute
and then add boiling water, mixing well with a
fork or small whisk. Add the gelatin to your cus-
tard mixture in the double boiler and continue to
cook for about 5 minutes, continually stirring as it
thickens. Cool custard in ice water when removed
from heat. In a separate bowl, beat the whipping
cream until peaks form. Fold the whipped cream
into the cooled custard (make sure the custard
has cooled to room temperature before adding
the whipped cream). Refrigerate this mixture for
about 20 minutes so that it stiffens a bit and is
easier to spread. Trim the edges of the puff pas-
try sheets to fit a deep tray or baking dish. Place
one layer of puff pastry on bottom. Spread evenly
with custard and then place second layer of puff
pastry on top, pressing down slightly. Refrigerate
for at least 4 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
on top prior to serving and cut into oblong pieces.
Garnish with strawberry fans or chocolate dipped
strawberries if so desired
