Description of MTB route:




 

The starting point of the mountain bike route is at the coast in Bol. Follow the paved road along the coast to the west course. The route passes near the well known Zlatni Rat beach. Follow the trail along the coast through Murvica village. The paved road turns to unpaved road. From Murvica village the trail proceeds towards Farska bay. There is a crossroad before downhill section for Farska bay. Turn right on the trail to the ridge of The Island of Brač. The steep ascent leads to the ridge’s plateau of the Island of Brač. On the plateau follow the unpaved road to the north. On the next labeled crossroad turn left to Blaca canyon. After around 4.5 km there is a labeled resting place. The labeled singletrack leads to Blaca Heritage (Museum). The steep descent on the rocky singletrack leads to Blaca bay. The Museum is opened for visiting all days during week except Monday. From
the bay the singletrack proceeds towards the east course along the forest. In this section the ride is not possible at all. It could take around 20 minutes to carry and hike up the bike.
