Cycling

Pedal power motion fans may visit attractions of a wider area by bicycle. The area of Jasenice Municipality is for cycling fans one of the most beautiful ones in Zadar County. Riding on Majstorska road is breathtaking, as well as cycling ascent to Tulove grede.

It is pure enjoyment of fresh and clean air, unforgettable sights of Zadar hinterland and archipelago from more than 1000 metres of height. At the foot of Tulove Grede starts new adventure cycling descent down the slopes of Velebit until the first rest stop – little chapel and one of the most beautiful viewpoints on this path. The chapel was erected in honour of one of Croatian War of Independence heroes - Damir Tomljanović Gavran – Commander of the legendary Tigers (military unit).
Soon after follows the stop at the second section of descent near the boulder that surpasses the road. The path continues toward the St. Francis church, built by Austrian Emperor Francis I (Franz Joseph I of Austria) to honour the newly built Majstorska road, first at the time that connected continental Croatia with Dalmatia. The next destination is childhood home of Luka Modrić, best European and World soccer player in 2018 and one of the lead role players in the famous Real Madrid football club. The path continues as an asphalt road to the belvedere of the magnificent canyon of Zrmanja River. This is the location of many scenes of the movie about Apache Chief Winnetou, the main character of the Karl May novel.
