Excursión ciclista de un día de Drenova a Krk

Get ready for an epic ride from Drenova, perched just outside Rijeka, to the historic island town of Krk! This 76 km adventure will take you south through breathtaking coastal hills and lush countryside before delivering you to the sunny shores of Krk. Be prepared for plenty of climbing: there’s nearly 1,500 meters of ascent, but you’re rewarded with even more descent—and those sweeping views of the Adriatic are totally worth it.

The route is a real mix: about a third is smooth asphalt, but much of your journey is along quiet roads and tracks—so wider tires will be your friend. Expect a bit of gravel and some unpaved stretches; nothing too crazy, but enough to keep it interesting.

Drenova is known as the gateway between city life and rugged hills, while Krk greets you with cobblestone streets, ancient walls, and that chill island vibe. After hours in the saddle, treat yourself to fresh seafood or a quick dip in the Adriatic when you arrive. This is one ride where both the journey and the destination are unforgettable!
