More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start on two wheels in Split, the Adriatic wind pressing at your back as stone streets open onto the green slope of Marjan Hill. Pine-scented trails thread between rocky viewpoints and the sea flashes between cypress; the city slides below, islands punctuating the horizon. The ride eases into forested singletrack and wide promenades, then spills towards Poljud — the distinctive shell-roof stadium that has watched Hajduk Split’s matches since 1979.
