Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Zagreb à Kašina

This scenic cycling route takes you from the heart of Zagreb, Croatia’s lively capital, all the way up to the peaceful village of Kašina. Start off by weaving out of the bustling city, trading busy streets for quiet roads and gravel tracks as you leave urban life behind. With over 1,000 meters of climbing, get ready for some serious uphill effort—but the panoramic views and fresh forest air more than make up for it!

About 41% of the ride is along unpaved paths, with plenty of gravel under your wheels, so it’s a great adventure for riders who enjoy a mix of surfaces. As you pedal north, you’ll pass woodland and open fields before cresting at around 839 meters above sea level.

Finish in Kašina, a tranquil village nestled just outside the densely forested Medvednica mountain park—a great spot to catch your breath and soak up the local charm. Whether you’re after a training challenge or a nature fix, this route is a rewarding escape from Zagreb’s city pace. Don’t forget to pack your climbing legs and maybe a snack or two!
