Starting from the pass on top of Benkovac Fužinski, the trail continues by a World War II monument. What follows is a ride down a gravel path through a forest toward Lič, and afterwards, above Lič. The trail then passes through a tunnel below the railway track in the centre of Lič and continues toward Fužine. One kilometre from the centre of Lič, the trail turns left on to a gravel path, from where it ascends back to Benkovac. You will be able to ride by the Forest Fairytale outing spot, through the tunnel below the railway track and by the Benkovac stream, all the way to the andesite quarry (please proceed with extra caution due to heavy machinery!). Further along, the trail steeply ascends back to the starting point, passing by the Chapel of the Holy Cross on the way, offering a panoramic view of the Ličko Polje field.

The trail is moderately demanding and dynamic. The ascent to the finish line is very demanding.
