On this cycling tour, we will explore part of the protected Velebit Nature Park. Velebit is an impressive mountain range stretching 145 km, forming a natural barrier between continental Croatia and the Adriatic coast. We will ride along a gravel road called Majstorska cesta, built in 1832 to connect northern Croatia with the coast. Josip K. Knežić worked on the road for 11 years. Today, Majstorska cesta remains in its original 19th-century condition and was declared a cultural heritage site of Croatia in 2007. Upon reaching Tulove Grede, we will take a break, only to be left breathless once again by the sight of some of the most spectacular peaks of Velebit. We then continue our descent towards the Zrmanja River, passing by the
birthplace of Luka Modrić, the legendary Real Madrid player and one of the best European and world footballers. Finally, we arrive at the Zrmanja River, which has sculpted a magnificent canyon through the wild and rocky landscape of Dalmatian karst over the centuries. This location was also used as a filming site for the famous Winnetou movies, based on the novels by Karl May.
