Starting from Crni Lug, this trail leads you toward Bijela Vodica and the main entrance of the Risnjak National Park. On a surface area of only 6.4 hectares, you will come across rich flora and fauna. The trail climbs uphill via the road above Leska, reaching almost 1000 metres above sea level. Cycling through the dense and lush greenery of Gorski Kotar forests is a remarkably rewarding experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afterwards, the trail takes you on around a 4-kilometre ride on the main road to Prezid. After reaching the \u017deljezna Vrata ruins area, turn onto the gravel path descending to the villages of Kra\u0161i\u0107evica, Razlo\u0161ki Okrug and Biljevina (located near the source of the Kupa river).

This nearly 100-kilometre-long circular road route will leave everyone speechless, as it mostly runs along the Kupa river itself, as well as the \u010cabranka river. The scenic ascent from \u010cabar to the coldest village in Croatia in winter months \u2013 Parg \u2013 and the long descent down the serpentine section leading from Tr\u0161\u0107e to Gerovo will impress every cyclist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last part of the route takes you for a ride along the very boundaries of the Risnjak National Park, then through Delnice \u2013 the highest inhabited town in Croatia \u2013 and the 12-kilometre-long descent toward the Kupa river valley is just the cherry on top.
