Ride along the right shore of the Bajer lake from the centre of Fužine to the Vrelo area, where you can visit the eponymous cave. At this point, turn right and take a gravel path through the shade of the woods and green glades, right up to Roswell – a cowboy village where the sequel to the German film Winnetou was shot. Once there, you can stop for a break and take a walk through the imaginary set. Your ride continues through the forest path to the Louisiana road in the Rogozno area.

At this point, cross to the other side of the slope and cycle to the highest point of the route, sitting at 980 metres above sea level. Once at Gornje Jelenje, turn around and ride back to Fužine via the route stretching along the Vrelo ranch, the Lepenica stream and the Bajer lake.
