Route statistics
The starting point of the trail is the village of Bijela Vodica, where the Risnjak National Park administration building and lodge are located. Further along, the trail takes you for a ride across picturesque hilltop villages of Crni Lug and Malo Selo, and on the way there, you can enjoy the views of the Malenica and the Pleševka hill. Having crossed the 3.5-kilometre mark, turn right onto a forest road which will take you uphill to the Praprot peak. The ascent is followed by a long descent to the Kupa river, along which you will continue to the village of Hrvatsko. From there on, cycle uphill to the village of Razloge, near the Kupa river source.
On the outskirts of the village, make sure to visit the Gorski Kotar House of Knowledge Interpretation Centre, which tells the story of “šindra”, a construction material characteristic of Gorski Kotar, and the Gorski Kotar architectural heritage. At the very end of the ascent, take the road you started on back toward Bijela Vodica, where you can treat yourself to a well-deserved forest fruit strudel after a great ride.
