Starting from Ravna Gora, take the historical Caroline road for around 8.5 kilometres to the village of Jablan, from where you will turn right onto a gravel path ascending to Bijela Kosa. Sitting at a height of 1289 metres, Bijela Kosa is one of the numerous peaks located in the vast forested and uninhabited area of Velika Kapela, between Klek and Vrbovsko. Circle the Bijela Kosa peak on your ride up to 1086 metres above sea level, followed by a well-deserved descent across Begova Cisterna to Ravna Gora.

If you happen to embark on your cycling adventure during the Gorski Kotar “Fruits of the Mountains” event, you will be rewarded with a real feast of flavours and fragrances.
