Overview of mountain biking route:

Promina is the mountain situated in the hinterland of Dalmatia and in south Croatia. The highest peak is Čavnovka at elevation of 1147m over the see level. On the peak there is the radio relay station. From Čavnovka you can get a nice view on Dinara, Svilaja and Southern Velebit mountains. The trail is labeled from Drniš city to Čavnovka. The gradually ascent is easy. The trail is dry and rocky and mainly placed on unpaved road and carriageway. During summer time in this area is very hot and I recommend to ride during spring, fall or winter.

Getting there: Europe, Croatia, Drniš.

The starting point of the mountain bike route is Drniš city. In the center of the city onthe crossroad follow the direction to Oklaj. Few kilometers from Drniš there is the labeled crossroad. Turn right for Promina. After 1 km the paved road turns into unpaved. Just before the Lišnjak village turn right on the crossroad. The unpaved road turns into the carriageway.

Čavnovka is about 4 kilometers from the crossroad. Regarding mine fields, do not ride off the road near the peak. Mine fields are labeled. The carriageway leads to the peak Čavnovka. I used the same trail to ride back to Drniš city.
