The \u201cForest Fairytale\u201d, located in a gorgeous forested area of Li\u010d, only four kilometres from the centre of Fu\u017eine, is an educational outing spot where children can learn about the Gorski Kotar flora and fauna. The main attraction of this outing spot are forest animal (deer and boar) hunting grounds, though certain to draw attention are also the fairytale characters carved in wood and a carriage available to visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cForest Fairytale\u201d has a little something for all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the adults relax and mingle around the barbecue or the bocce court, the little ones will love the abundance of entertaining amenities, such as swings, seesaws, slides, trampolines and miniature houses for playing and observing animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting from the centre of Fu\u017eine, follow the flow of the Li\u010danka river as you tour a few of the Li\u010dko Polje field lakes \u2013 namely the Potko\u0161 lake, a famous trout spawning area, and the Marasovo lake, located in the very field. After passing by the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows, where the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared in the snow in 1733, continue cycling down the asphalt road toward Novi Vinodolski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the 10-kilometre mark, turn right and take the gravel path, following it to the highest point of the route at 990 metres. From there on, a ride with dynamic changes of terrain configuration follows across the slopes of Kobiljak and Medvi\u0111ak peaks, after which you descend toward the village of Li\u010d. Before reaching Fu\u017eine, make sure to tour the scenic village of Li\u010d and visit one of its attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail takes you from the centre of Fu\u017eine down the landscaped promenade along the Bajer lake and continues all the way to the village of Vrelo across the \u010coka peninsula. Once there, make sure to visit the Vrelo cave, located only around 100 metres from the trail. Further along, the route stretches down the county road, turning left after the Vrelo ranch and continuing down a gravel path underneath the A6 highway. This marks the start of a gentle uphill ride along the meadows, which later transforms into a steeper ascent through a forest toward Benkovac Fu\u017einski. Having crossed the main road connecting Fu\u017eine and Zlobin, you will continue cycling down an andesite quarry toward Li\u010d, along the Benkovac stream. (Please proceed with extra caution due to heavy machinery!) From there on, the trail takes you through a tunnel below the railway track, then along the Forest Fairytale outing spot. The trail turns left ahead of the sawmill, leading back to the centre of Fu\u017eine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a dynamic, moderately demanding trail, especially in the parts leading through the forest.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Forest fairytale","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"forest-fairytale","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-19 14:40:15","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-19 13:40:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/gorskikotarbike.com\/routes\/707-sumska-bajka\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"route","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":6936,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2024-12-14 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2024-12-14 21:06:55","post_content":"\n
Starting from the pass on top of Benkovac Fu\u017einski, the trail continues by a World War II monument. What follows is a ride down a gravel path through a forest toward Li\u010d, and afterwards, above Li\u010d. The trail then passes through a tunnel below the railway track in the centre of Li\u010d and continues toward Fu\u017eine. One kilometre from the centre of Li\u010d, 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 Li\u010dko Polje field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trail is moderately demanding and dynamic. The ascent to the finish line is very demanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting point is at the centre of Li\u010d, from which the route continues toward Potkobiljak. After about three hundred metres, the trail turns left, taking you across meadows and carriage roads toward the Li\u010dko Polje field. Having passed through Li\u010dko Polje, you will reach the industrial park, which you can freely cross. From there on, you need to turn right and follow a meadow path through the forest, all the way to the Potko\u0161 lake (watch out for the electric shepherd). From the Potko\u0161 lake, the trail passes down an asphalt road to an animal shelter, after which it follows the oil and gas pipeline route to the Forest Fairytale outing spot and back to the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trail is easy with gently undulating terrain and only one marked ascent by the Potko\u0161 lake. It makes for a comfortable ride surrounded by gorgeous landscapes, especially at dawn or before sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
