home > murter The name of the island of Murter extends to the maritime zone which is limited to the northwest by the Murter channel, to the southeast by the capes of the Šibenik islands Kaprije, Kakan and Žirije, to the south by the Samogradska vrata strait and to the southwest by the Pučinski (Piškerski) island group of Kornati, to the northwest by the Velika Proversa passage and the islets Mali Tremulić, Božikovac and Mala Balabra, to the north by the Srednji kanal channel, Zadar islands of Gangara and Murvenja, and finally the Vrgadski kanal channel and islets Artica vela and Artica mala. In the centre of that area that has become one of the most attractive and most popular nautical areas in Europe, lies the Murter sea. The Murter sea is the biggest sea area between the Šibenik and Zadar archipelagos. It covers 210 square kilometres, and it is up to 94 meters deep. On the northeast side of the Murter sea is the Murter island, from the northwest, southwest and south it is surrounded by the Kornati archipelago, and on its east side are the famous Šibenik islands Žirje, Kakan i Kaprije. Located in the centre of the southeast edge of the Murter sea are Tetovišnjaci – a group of five islands and one cliff. Easily spotted and recognizable, Tetovišnjaci make for a good landmark when sailing the not large but temperamental Murter sea. Although small, the Murter sea should not be underestimated. It is exposed to strong winds and sudden changes of wind as well as strong currents, and the yachtsmen sailing it should therefore always be alert. Unlike the Kornati, which constitute a geographical and geomorphological unit, the islands around Murter island and Murter sea are grouped in several island groups and (co-)owner groups. The inhabitants of the Murter island, i.e. the inhabitants of Murter and Betina, are owners and co-owners of 134 of islands of Kornati, amongst which are all 89 of above-sea dry-land units in the National Park "Kornati". Apart from that, the inhabitants of Murter island are owners and co-owners of another 55 above-sea dry-land units, six of which are within the administrative borders of Zadarska county, while six other are within the borders of the city of Šibenik. Overseas properties of the inhabitants of the Murter island and the Kornati archipelago encompass 207 above-sea dry-land units (islands and cliffs). The Kornat Islands are the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean. Nowhere else in this large sea is such a great number of islands crammed in so little space. Because of ambiguous criteria of the definition of an island in general, there is no general agreement about their number. But we think that we shall not err much if we determine their number at 150. The area pf the sea in which they are located is about 320 square kilometres. The largest island of the archipelago is Kornat. The inhabitants of the island of Murter, the most numerous of the owners, refer to it as Kurnat, to the archipelago as Kurnati, and to themselves as Kurnatari, other neighbours and the wider public refer to them as Kornat and Kornatari respectively. The island has an area of 32 525 315 square metres; it's shoreline is 66,1 km long, and it is 235 m high - the peak Metlina. The island is 25,2 km or 13,6 nautical miles long. But the special feature and identifiability of the Kornat Islands are the islets. Like many other shepherds and farm labourers, people working in the Kornat Islands obtained pastures and later cultivable land by burning. The process was repeated after several years , in a specific order and at a specified time. Although it is known that events sometimes went out of control, on the whole the pasture was burnt in an organized way. The consequence of burning pastures is the almost lunar landscape of the island of Kornat and some of the larger islands, e.g. Kurba, Škuj, Lunga.

početna > murter Ime otoka Murtera pokriva akvatorij koji je na sjeverozapadu omeđen Murterskim kanalom, na jugoistoku rtovima šibenskih otoka Kaprija, Kakna i Žirja, na jugu Samogradskim vratima, na jugozapadu pučinskim (piškerskim) nizom kornatskih otoka, na sjeverozapadu prolazom Velika Proversa i otočićima Malim Tremulićem, Božikovcem i Malom Balabrom, prema sjeveru Srednjim kanalom, zadarskim otocima Gangarom i Murvenjakom, te konačno Vrgadskim kanalom i otočićima Articom velom i Articom malom. U sredini tog prostora koji je postao jednim od najatraktivnijih i najposjećenijih nautičarskih područja u Europi, nalazi se Murtersko more. Murtersko more je najveći morski prostor između šibenskog i zadarskog arhipelaga. Površina mu je 210 četvornih kilometara, a najveća dubina 94 metra. Na sjeveroistočnoj strani Murterskog mora je otok Murter, sa sjeverozapada, jugozapada i juga okružuju ga Kornati, a na njegovoj jugoistočnoj strani su poznati šibenski otoci Žirje, Kakan i Kaprije. Na sredini jugoistočnog ruba Murterskog mora nalaze se Tetovišnjaci - skupina od pet otoka i jedne hridi. Lako uočljivi i prepoznatljivi, Tetovišnjaci su dobar orijentir pri plovidbi nevelikim, ali ćudljivim Murterskim morem. Iako je opsegom maleno, Murtersko se more ne smije podcjenjivati. Izloženo je jakim vjetrovima i naglim promjenama vjetra te jakim morskim strujama pa nautičari u njegovim vodama uvijek moraju biti oprezni. Za razliku od Kornata koji su zemljopisna i geomorfološka cjelina, otoci oko otoka Murtera i Murterskog mora grupirani su u nekoliko otočnih skupina i su(vlasničkih) cjelina. Stanovnici otoka Murtera, odnosno naselja Murter i Betina vlasnici su i suvlasnici 134 kornatska otoka među kojima su svih 89 nadmorskih kopnenih jedinica u Nacionalnom parku "Kornati". Osim toga, stanovnici otoka Murtera vlasnici su i suvlasnici još 55 nadmorskh kopnenih jedinica, od kojih se šest nalazi u administrativnim granicama Zadarske županije, te još šest u granicama grada Šibenika. Prekomorski posjedi stanovnika otoka Murtera i kornatski arhipelag obuhvaćaju 207 nadmorskih kopnenih jedinica (otoka i hridi). Kornati su najgušći arhipelag na Sredozemlju. Zbog nejasnog kriterija oko definicije otoka općenito, nema opće suglasnosti o njihovu broju. No smatramo da nećemo pogriješiti ako ovaj broj zaokružimo na 150. Površina akvatorija u kojemu su smješteni iznosi oko 320 km2 . Najveći otok u arhipelagu jest Kornat. Murterini, najbrojniji među vlasnicima posjeda, nazivaju ga Kurnat, otočje Kurnati, a sebe Kurnatarima, ostali susjedi i šira javnost uglavnom Kornat i Kornati. Površina otoka iznosi 32 525 315 m2 ;duljina litorala 66,1 km, a visina 235m - vrh Metlina. Otok je dug 25,2 km ili 13,6 morskih milija. No osobitost i prepoznatljivost kornatskog arhipelaga čine mali otoci. Poput mnogih onodobnih stočara i težaka, i Kurnatari su do pašnjačkih i kasnije obradivih površina dolazili paljenjem. Postupak se obnavljao svakih nekoliko godina, po određenom redu i u određeno vrijeme. Iako se zna da su događaji ponekad izmicali kontroli, u cjelini, pašnjak se palio organizirano. Posljedica paljenja pašnjaka danas je gotovo lunarni pejzaž Kornata i joše nekih većih otoka, npr. Kurbe, Škuja, Lunge.
