Cycling day trip from Kašina to Zagreb

This ride kicks off in Kašina, a small village north of Zagreb known for its scenic hills and forested surroundings. Expect a fair workout right from the start, as you’ll be climbing up to some seriously elevated viewpoints—the route tops out at 839 meters! But don’t worry; after that ascent (437 meters), the path is mostly downhill toward Zagreb, offering plenty of breezy descents with stunning views of the Medvednica hills and the Zagreb skyline as you get closer.

The route itself is a real mixed bag: about 40% gravel and 41% unpaved, so a gravel or mountain bike is your friend here. Most of it follows quiet country roads and tracks, making it a peaceful ride—almost no busy roads to stress about. As you approach Zagreb, you’ll cruise through suburban neighborhoods before rolling into the city center, famous for its historic streets, lively café culture, and vibrant atmosphere.

Whether you’re after a workout or just want a scenic adventure from the countryside to the city, this route’s blend of rustic charm and urban finish is sure to leave you smiling.
