Ruta istok

Ruta Istok offers a balanced mix of technical challenges and scenic rides through Dalmatia’s coastal countryside. The journey begins on unpaved trails, rolling smoothly before meeting a modest paved climb near Selca, where urban surroundings briefly mix with nature. Early on, quiet paved roads wind through green landscapes, easing into a gentle descent past Povlja’s outskirts. Mid-route, an unpaved ascent of around 300 meters tests endurance, rewarded by open natural surroundings. Later, rougher terrain gives way to smoother descents, blending gravel and pavement under wheels. Approaching the finish, a short but steep paved climb near Sumartin shifts the ride back into the countryside, ending alongside the water in a quiet, built-up area. A well-paced loop with varied terrain, perfect for riders seeking both effort and reward.
