đź’ˇ Essential Tips for a Pleasant Recreational Ride on Krk

As your hosts, we want your cycling adventure to be perfect. Here are our key tips for cycling on Krk:

  • Start Time: Avoid midday! In summer, we advise starting early morning (before 9 am) or late afternoon (after 5 pm) due to high temperatures.

  • Tires and Equipment: Carry a puncture repair kit and a spare inner tube. We recommend an MTB or Trekking bike with thicker tires because of the macadam (gravel) roads.

  • Hydration: Carry a minimum of 1.5 l of water per person as there are few natural springs on Krk.

  • E-bikes: For trails with greater ascents and more sightseeing, we recommend renting an E-bike to handle the terrain challenges more easily.
