Route statistics
Take this scenic route connecting two historical roads – Caroline and Louisiana – and immerse yourself in the history of Gorski Kotar, when their construction breathed new life into the region. Starting from Fužine, ride along the shore of the Bajer lake toward the main road, which will take you to Gornje Jelenje – the starting point of the original stretch of the most recently built mountain road from 1811. At Ravno Podolje, the highest point of the Louisiana road, take a break by the altimeter and enjoy the gorgeous view eastward.
In Mrzla Vodica, you can also tour a stunning bridge built in carved stone, while the “House of Nature” in Lokve invites you to try its renowned authentic liqueurs. After refreshments or lunch in Delnice, continue cycling down the Louisiana road toward the Veliki Vodenjak viewpoint, a great spot for a quick break. Once in Zalesina, get off the Louisiana road for an adventurous ride along the second historical and tourist road – the Caroline, connecting Ravna Gora, Mrkopalj and Fužine.
