Cycling Club Konavle is organizing a recreational MTB cycle on New Year's Eve to the top of Sniježnica and Sveti Ilija reaching 1234m. This is the southernmost mountain ridge in the Dinara mountains.

The ride consists of two parts: the first part of the climb where you can ride and that is up to some 920m above sea level, with the remaining part of the ride left with about 300m altitude through 2km of walking with your bike on a demanding track.

 

In the end, you will have a beautiful view of Konavle and can socialize with a short break at the top. After the break, you will descend back to the club room on Zvekovica where BK Konavle will organize a meal for all the participants.

 

The gathering and start of the climb will take place on December 31 at 7:30 at the fire brigade in the village of Zvekovica.

 

The planned return to Zvekovica is around 14:30.

 

For equipment, it is recommended to bring:

Valid MTB bike, helmet, spare tube, backpack, warm and extra clothing for the top of the climb, ordinary shoes for walking part of the route (for those who drive on spd), food and plenty of fluids.

 

For those not brave enough or ready for this climb by bicycle, there is also the option of hiking which will start at 10:00 from Kuna Konavoska and will jointly arrive at the top with the cyclists around 11:30-12:00. Both the ride and hike are not a race but a recreational gathering.
