Croatia

Croatia is known for its Adriatic coast and islands, but cycling in Croatia is more than that. The Trans Dinarica Cycle Route takes you away from the most visited tourist spots, through the stunning Velebit Nature Park and under Mount Dinara, which gave this bicycle trip its name. However, the route plan allows you to visit the island of Pag and the beautiful seaside towns of Zadar and Split.

Kosovo

At the crossroads between the Dinaric Alps and the Sharr Mountains, Kosovo is a classic example of a Western Balkans country that under-promises and over-delivers. Cycling in Kosovo offers incredible landscapes, fantastic food, and a welcoming culture all come together here on this enticing, rugged swath of land. For many, cycling in Kosovo will be a new endeavor. But, after they’ve pedaled here once, they’ll be looking for excuses to return. The trail takes cyclists to the cities of Prizren and Gjakova, and to Valbona National Park.
