Stipanac – an island of legends and untouched nature, where history comes alive
Stipanac Island, located near Bilice in the northern part of Prukljan Lake, is a unique destination worth visiting. It hosts the remains of the ancient church of St. Stephen, and during low tide, a path that once connected the island to the mainland becomes visible. According to legend, Stipanac wasn't always an island, but was shaped by mysterious forces. The story of Gavan and Gavanuša, who humiliated a beggar on Easter, explains the sinking of Gavan's palace into the lake, and locals still call the island "Gavan's Palace." This blend of history and myth makes Stipanac an ideal place for those who wish to explore hidden legends and enjoy untouched nature.
