A terrifying tunnel on a Croatian island that also hides a secret

A tunnel on the island of Hvar in Croatia has become a notable attraction due to its unique design and historical significance. The 1,400-meter-long tunnel, built in 1963 during the Yugoslav era, originally served to supply water to the southern part of the island and the town of Hvar. It was later adapted for road traffic and now connects the northern and southern parts of the island. The tunnel resembles a cave more than a modern structure, with a width of just over two meters and a single lane of traffic. It lacks lighting, and traffic is controlled by traffic lights at both entrances—unique features for the island. Some residents believe the tunnel helped reduce congestion in the southern part of the island. Inside the tunnel lies a hidden secret: a wine cellar located approximately 50 meters from the entrance near the village of Pitve. This cellar was created by repurposing one of the original water reservoirs constructed during the tunnel’s construction. The constant temperature inside the tunnel makes it ideal for storing wine, and the local winery is considered among the best in Croatia.
