BEFORE YOU GO:
Coffee and cyclists are something unavoidable, so our tour starts from the restaurant Staza where you can enjoy your morning coffee with an excellent view of the mountain Čvrsnica.
The tour starts at the Staza restaurant, which is located on the SKI trail. The departure begins on the asphalt road leading to Lake Blidinje. It turns right onto a wide macadam path and here begins the real magic of mountain biking. After another kilometer, on the right side, there is the Necropolis with Stećak tombstones where we can take the first break. After the visit to Stećci, the ascent to Kedžara (the tomb of Diva Grabovčev) follows. After touring this prayer area, we climb down to Rama until we finally reach Mount Vran. A flourishing forest trail awaits us with dynamic changes of climbing and descending. In the circle of the mountain Vran we take a break in the open air or a picnic, followed by an excellent descent towards Tomislavgrad, or towards the village of Lipa. The descent ends near the cemetery where we travel up the hill to Grle. From Grla there is a descent to Lake Blidinje, where the asphalt road leads us back to the starting point, the restaurant Staza, or the destination of our trip.
On bicycle rides, it is always good to pay attention to fuel, ie food and supplements, so we gladly recommend that you always take time to refresh your body on rides. Stop at one of the beautiful breathtaking locations and enjoy this sandwich from your backpack. 🙂
