Geographical position of the town

We have already mentioned it, but it is worth repeating – Solin is a town located in central Dalmatia, north-east of Split. Over time Solin has grown together with Split, but it has remained an independent local unit and has the status of a town.

Solin is surrounded by the Kozjak and Mosor mountains, which are also counted among the tourist offer of this town. The river Jadro flows through Solin. The river is interesting to many, and with good reason.

Namely, the town of Solin had its electricity supply even before Split. The town was supplied with electricity by the "Deseti kolovoz" factory, with the help of a power plant built in 1904 at the source of this river. The power plant still exists today and can be visited, but it is no longer in operation. High maintenance costs and weak electricity production were the reasons for its shutdown. Today the power plant is a tourist attraction that many will gladly visit.

Gastronomy in Solin

Another curiosity of the river Jadro is a species of trout that lives only in it. This endemic species, the soft-finned trout, is known as the "Solinka". If you visit one of the restaurants nearby, like fish and want to try new flavours, order fresh trout from the river Jadro.

Apart from the "Solinka", the river is home to Californian trout and eels. Restaurants near the river have a phenomenal offer of fish specialities.
