0
You are six kilometers from Omiš, at the site of Radman's mills, hidden in the canyon of the Cetina River, where water has powered mill wheels for centuries. The first mill was built here in the 18th century, and everything took on a new look in the mid-19th century, when the Radman family – who had fled Bosnia due to the conflict with the Ottomans – transformed the property into a country estate. It was then that this place became an important economic and cultural center, with gardens and country houses that attracted people from the surrounding area. Today, Radman's mills offers much more than history. The 12,000 m² complex consists of authentic stone buildings, mill canals and bridges, all surrounded by Mediterranean greenery and the clear flow of the Cetina River. The restaurant within the mill is famous for its traditional Dalmatian dishes – homemade bread under a baking oven, Poljica soparnik and scampi on buzara are just some of the specialties you can try here. It is especially interesting that numerous outdoor activities are organized here - from rafting and boat rides to hiking and zip-lining. If you are a nature lover or looking for a bit of adrenaline, this is the right place for you. In addition, Radman's mills is also a gathering place - picnics, cultural events and the famous Dalmatian Klapa Festival are held here. Interestingly, in the 1960s, the old mills were converted into a catering business, and at the end of the 20th century they became one of the most popular excursion destinations in Dalmatia. Many do not know that between 1962 and 1969, Radman's mills was a film set for the filming of the series about the famous Indian Winnetou, which makes this place even more special. Another interesting fact: the Radman family, after whom the mills are named, comes from Bosnian nobility, and their art collection is now part of private and public collections. The road leading to the mills was built in 1925 and was part of the former route of the "Emperor Franz Joseph's Road". Although Radman's Mills are not officially protected cultural property, they are a symbol of the combination of natural beauty and historical heritage of Omiš.
