The reason for the feud between the two islands
About the Mrduja Tug of War
Located in the Split Channel, west of Brač and east of Šolta, the islet of Mrduja is the eternal reason for the quarrels of the inhabitants of these two islands. Since ancient times, there has existed a legend on attempts to gain ownership of this islet. The initiative to revive the legend of the Mrduja Tug of War and finally get an answer to the question “Whose is Mrduja?” came from both islands, and it was eagerly welcomed by the inhabitants and guests of Brač and Šolta. This is how the Mrduja Tug of War became the central event of the summers of Šolta and Milna.
The Mrduja Tug of War has been held on the last Saturday in July since 2008.
