In early 1960s Winnetou and Old Shatterhand had their first appearance on the Silver Screen. From 1962 to 1968, nine movies were made, with Pierre Brice starring as the brave Winnetou, and Lex Barker as the dashing Old Shatterhand. Other cast members, among others, included Elke Sommer, Herbert Lom and Klaus Kinski.

The movies were based on German author Karl May* novels, and the breathtaking scenes filmed on locations in Croatia - Paklenica, Plitvice Lakes, Kornati archipelago (Silver Lake), rivers Krka, Zrmanja and Cetina, enchanted the world.

It is interesting to mention that some scenes from these movies were filmed in the Canyon of the Cetina River at Radmanove Mlinice - Omiš, together with participation of some of Omiš's inhabitants as mutes.
