You can choose between three different routes, each with a unique landscape and challenges. The Great Circular Route offers a comprehensive and longest experience of Konavle without repeating routes, while the Blue Bypass and Southernmost Point Trail offer alternatives based on personal preferences. The Blue Bypass adds the summit of St. Elijah (4,042 ft above sea level), guaranteeing a much greater effort for the hiker, while the SPT offers a detour to the southernmost point of the Republic of Croatia with a wonderful walk overlooking the sea, but also a return along the same route. The selected route can be completed in one day, walked in two, three, or maybe four days, or it can be walked in self-selected sections over the week or more. The direction of movement is not of great importance, but consider whether you want to start hiking with an ascent or on flat ground and end the hike with a view of the sea and descent, or in a leisurely walk through dry stone walls and forest. It is up to you to choose according to your own interests.

Every hiker who proves with photos that they have completed the H.E.A.R.T. of Konavle at the Tourist Office in Cavtat can receive a certificate confirming that they have completed the trail.
