Starting from the Vrbovsko town centre, take the main Louisiana road toward Hajdine and, at the 1.5-kilometre mark, turn right to the Litorić outing spot, where you will come across a hunting lodge. A dense forest and thick shade will soon be replaced by the view of the Kupa river and its valley from Orlove Stijene, a viewpoint overlooking some of the most beautiful landscapes.

After a break, keep cycling down the route of the Cycling Trail of Gorski Kotar toward Plemenitaš, home to summer art workshops, then to Lukovdol, the birthplace of Croatian poet Ivan Goran Kovačić. Do not hesitate to stop by the distillery in nearby Rtić and have a drink of your choosing from its rich selection of exceptional alcoholic drinks. The route ends in Vrbovsko.
