Route direction: Brela-Bast-Makar-Kotišina-Makarska-along the seaside to Brela
Route description:
After you pass Vrulja, head for Brela-Makarska. On the right hand side is a parking lot, around 1.5 km after Vrulja. Leave your car there and continue on the main road 100 m towards Brela. On the left side is a steep gravel road to Novaki. It might be easier to push the bike those 200 m. The rest is fine gravel to the asphalt, at the entrance to Topići, perfect for light mountain cycling. Unfortunately, the road to St. Ilija tunnel crossed dirt roads, so after Topići you need to cross the main road to the tunnel to get to Bast. In Bast there is asphalt to the church, 50 m after it turn left onto gravel, marked with a sign “Archaeology site Grebište.” Further on is gravel, above a large vineyard. After about a kilometre and a half do not turn left to the site but continue on. The gravel leads to Veliko Brdo. There are plenty of ascents or descents. In Veliko Brdo continue to Makar-Kotišina, mostly gravel roads. For lovers of single tracks, the road back to Brela is along the seaside.
