Golden Horn of Brač Island
The Golden Horn, or „Zlatni Rat“ in Croatian, is a beautiful beach located on the southern coast of the island of Brač in Croatia. It is known for its unique shape, which resembles a horn, and its crystal clear waters.The beach is made up of fine white pebbles, which are a result of the erosion of local rocks. The unique exposure to various winds creates different beach shapes throughout the year, making the point shift slightly in position, which is a fascinating phenomenon for geologists.
The history of the Golden Horn dates back to ancient times when it was used as a port by the Illyrians, a group of ancient people who lived in the region. In the Middle Ages, it was used as a fishing port by local residents, and later became a popular tourist destination.

Golden Horn
of Brac Island
Welcoming Golden Horn,
on Croatian Land
like a Rose’s Thorn,
made by mighty Hand;
in the Sea was born,
from Stone and Earth and Sand
by Current, Waves and Storm
Hail to the Golden Horn.

Goldenes Horn
der Insel Brac
Wilkommen, Goldnes Horn,
auf Kroatenland,
wie ein Rosendorn,
gemacht von mächt’ger Hand;
im Meer wurd‘ einst gebor’n,
aus Erde, Stein und Sand
durch Strömung, Wellen, stürmisch‘ Zorn
Heil dem Goldnen Horn.
