Trek 17

Trek 17 demands a blend of grit and precision through Primorje’s rolling countryside. The ride begins on smooth pavement before shifting to rugged trails, where an early 175 m climb tests endurance through unpaved terrain. Mid-route, a steep 250 m descent demands focus—first on loose gravel, then firming into pavement—before a brief 70 m ascent threads past Vrbnik’s quiet streets. Later, a sharp 80 m drop eases into flat stretches alongside water, while a 150 m climb near the end winds through built-up areas before settling into the final push. Mostly quiet and lightly trafficked, the route balances paved efficiency with technical unpaved sections, rewarding persistence with sweeping natural surroundings.
