Gita in bici di un giorno da Centar a Karlovac

Set off from Donji grad, the lively heart of Zagreb, and roll your way southwest towards Karlovac! This 85 km ride offers a little bit of everything for adventurous cyclists: you’ll wind through local neighborhoods, pedal along quiet country roads, and even crunch some gravel under your tires. Expect some gentle ups and downs as you gradually leave the city behind—the route has a couple of moderate climbs, but nothing too intense, with a total ascent of just under 300 meters.

Karlovac, your destination, sits at the meeting point of four rivers and is famous for its star-shaped old town and laid-back riverside vibes. The ride is mostly paved, but you’ll definitely get a taste of gravel and unpaved sections, so wider tires will make things smoother, especially if it’s been raining. With a mix of peaceful tracks and only a sliver of busier roads, this is a fantastic way to see a different, greener side of Croatia, finishing with a well-earned rest in a charming, historic city. Don’t forget to take a dip in one of Karlovac’s rivers if you arrive on a hot day!
