About trails in Croatia

Croatia's routes here are mostly for cyclists, split between the Adriatic coast and the hills around Zagreb. The Grožnjan Istrian Hills MTB Ride climbs through vineyards and forest around a hilltop town in inland Istria, and the Rogoznica to Zadar Dalmatian Coast Ride follows 116 km of shoreline past the islands of northern Dalmatia. The Zaglav to Sali Walk, Dugi Otok is an easy island walk near the Telašćica Nature Park.

Inland, the Žumberak Hills Hike reaches nearly 900 m in the Žumberak–Samobor Highlands on the Slovenian border, and the Vukomerić Hills Family Bike Ride and Turopolje Bike Ride from Velika Gorica explore the low hills and floodplain south of Zagreb. The Imotski to Grude Border Ride crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Best time to go: April to June and September to October are best for riding. July and August are hot and busy on the coast, and the cold bora wind can make coastal cycling tough in winter.
Terrain: Karst limestone, coastal roads and forested hills, with the highest point on these routes around 870 m. Most routes are moderate.
Permits & access: Ferries from Zadar serve Dugi Otok. Croatia is in the Schengen Area, but the ride to Grude crosses an external border into Bosnia and Herzegovina, so bring a passport.
