17. VRBNIK – RISIKA – GARICA – KAMPELJE – VRBNIK (TREKKING)
The trail that offers a panoramic view of the golden Vrbnička Žlahtina fields is designed for trekking cyclists of moderate fitness levels.
After starting in Vrbnik and warming up along the coast, you will face a more challenging ascent towards the Frankopan castle Gradec.
You will continue through a dynamic change of terrain in the areas of Vrbnik's hinterland, after which you will soon find yourself above Vrbničko polje, enjoying the view of the fruitful vineyards and the often-celebrated Vrbnik.
