Stage statistics
Cycling across Gorski Kotar is a treat for all senses. While riding your bicycle, enjoy the gorgeous views, scents of forest plants, birdsong and tastes of Gorski Kotar. The Fužine–Delnice section is fully packed with these – from cycling by a field of mountain lavender and forest fruits to tasting the blueberry strudel, Gorski Kotar liqueurs, marmalades, teas and the “škripavac” cheese. You will also have the opportunity to learn about the 200-year-old Louisiana road connecting Rijeka and Karlovac. The Vrelo cave and the Lokvarka cave, both open for tourists, will enchant you with their rich underground world. Also, make sure to stop by Mrkopalj, a village dating back to the late 15th century, which experienced a real boom with the construction of the Caroline road. Mrkopalj is also known as the “Cradle of Croatian Skiing”, seeing as the first ski course in Croatia was organised here in 1913. From Mrkopalj and Sunger, the trail takes you back to Delnice, the highest inhabited town in Croatia.
