Cycling day trip from Preko to Biograd na Moru

Ready for a sunny Croatian bike ride? You’ll start your journey in lovely Preko, a charming village on the island of Ugljan just across from Zadar. Preko is known for its relaxed vibe, scenic waterfront, and the ancient St. Michael’s Fortress perched above town. Hop on your bike and head southeast across a variety of routes: expect a good mix of quiet back roads, gravel tracks, and a few short sections of cycleway. About 60% of the path is on unmarked surfaces, so it’s a real treat for those who like a dash of adventure with their views.

You'll pass through sleepy villages and catch stunning glimpses of the Adriatic along the way. The route offers gentle climbs (about 317 meters up), but nothing too tough—the perfect excuse to stop for a photo or two.

Eventually, you’ll roll into Biograd na Moru, a vibrant Dalmatian seaside town famous for its sparkling beaches, bustling marina, and rich royal history (it was once the medieval seat of Croatian kings!). Park your bike, grab a swim, and enjoy a well-earned gelato on the seafront promenade.

All in all, this 43 km ride serves up authentic Croatia: beautiful, a bit wild, and always inviting.
