Biking
The island of Krk has proven itself countless times as an ideal outdoor destination for all seasons. The mild Mediterranean climate, diverse vegetation and rich cultural and historical heritage are just some of the reasons why many outdoor lovers return to it.
Malinska, in the northwestern part of the island, is located in a wide bay with its twenty scattered surrounding villages, forming a historical entity called Dubasnica. Its most important natural wealth of this area is the specific beauty of the sea and Dubasnica forests.
Join us in discovering Dubasnica forests and Malinska hinterland on 2 wheels in the most beautiful part of the year when old oaks dress autumn cloak, rich olive trees release their juicy fruits, and numerous flocks of sheep on pastures greet you in their specific way.
This year we have prepared 2 bike tours - one for more advanced recreationists and one for families with children.
