Three cycling routes connect natural and cultural heritage with local food and wine offerings.

Two of the cycling routes are described as circular routes with clearly named sequences of settlements. Route 441, “Trail of the Nobles and Ponds,” runs from Nedešćina via Jurazini, Eržišće, Blaškovići, Radovići, Šumber and Grašići back to Nedešćina. Route 442, “In the Footsteps of Miners and Stone Sculptures,” runs from Nedešćina via Štrmac, Vinež, Tomažići, Cere and Santalezi back to its starting point. The different sequences of settlements give each of these circular routes its own course. Check current route conditions before setting off.

Walking through wine country and marl dunes
