Zagora. The part of Dalmatia nestled behind the Dinaric Alps falls under the name Dalmatian Zagora. Zagora literally means "behind the hills," a reference to the mountains that line much of the coast. Much of Zagora is a stony, arid region, known for its scrub-covered hills and rocky wastelands known as kamenjar ("stone fields")—but also for its charming towns with stone houses and intensively cultivated agricultural fields. Just a few kilometers from the Adriatic coast, this region offers a perfect contrast to the bustling summer resorts. Picturesque towns, authentic cuisine, and a fascinating historical and cultural heritage.

There are six routes set out in the Zagora.
Four routes explore the northern part of the Dalmatian Zagora:
Zagora from Gospic, passes Velebit, Udbina, Srb and Gračac
Zagora from Sibenik, passes Benkovac, Ervenik, Knin, Krka National Park and Skradin
Zagora from Split, passes Vranjača cave and takes you past Sinj, Cetina spring and Drniš
Dalmatia from Split, through Biokovo and Imotski National Park
Two routes partly pass through the southern Zagora:
Ragusa Mostar from Duvrovnik
Ragusa Kotor from Dubrovnik
