Into The Heart of Croatia — Trans Dinarica Ep.2

In this video I continue riding through Croatia, picking up from Crikvenica and riding south over five days to Muskovci, taking in Senj, Kransno, Baške Ošarije, Gospić and Lovinac along the way. I could feel the route starting to ramp up a bit over these few days, there are a couple of big climbing days, including one with over 1600 metres of ascent on some lovely gravel. The scenery through this part of Croatia is absolutely stunning and gets wilder and more dramatic the further south we go. It is as the challenge of the route increases that I am particularly loving the slower pace we are taking, we are just doing as much as we want in a day, and are taking our time where we want to. Highlights of this episode include some wonderful food at various stops along the way, a wild camp under the stars, and what might be one of the best campsites of the whole trip at the end of the video in Muskovci. It was right next to a river, with a natural basin fed by small waterfalls tumbling in from every direction. You'll have to see it to believe it. The Trans Dinarica is a 5,500km bikepacking route crossing eight countries through the Balkans — Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania.
