Overview of mountain biking route:
Lisac is a mountain in the southern part of Croatia. To tell you the truth I have never heard for Lisac before I discovered it. We have many bike & hike guides in Croatia but none has mentioned Lisac. At the beginning of 2007 during cold winter days I was studied the maps and decided to explore this area. During my first hiking tour I discovered Lisac’s area. In September 2007 I come again but this time with my bike. The route can be combined with Krupa – Tremzina route. Lisac mountain belongs to the Croatian county named Lika with the lowest population density in Europe. The area is untouched and I hope it will last forever. The route can be combined with Zrmanja Vrelo – Poštak – Plavno route.
Getting there: Europe, Croatia, Zagreb, Gračac than direction to Knin and the starting point is at the crossroad on the highway towards Srb.
