Cycling day trip from Njivice to Krk

If you’re up for a scenic ride, pedal from Njivice to Krk across the northern stretches of Croatia’s famous island of Krk. This roughly 23 km journey mixes up tranquil cycleways and quiet roads, with a few gentle climbs (expect a total ascent of about 360 meters) — just enough to earn some epic views but nothing too grueling.

You’ll start in Njivice, once a little fishing village that’s now a sweet seaside spot for a coffee or a dip before you set off. The route is mostly paved and follows peaceful backroads, winding past olive groves, glimpses of the Adriatic, and some classic stone houses. There are short sections of gravel and concrete, but nothing most bikes can’t handle. It’s rarely busy, so you can really soak up the island vibes.

Eventually, you’ll cruise into the historic town of Krk, the island’s capital, packed with medieval walls and a buzzing waterfront. Take some time to explore the narrow stone alleys and treat yourself to gelato by the harbor — you’ve earned it!
