It took us from Otrić to the peak two hours with easy pace and few rests like this one. As we were reaching top, trail became steeper. It is actually very helpfull that we are descending on the same path because we made trail inspection on the way and scouted some lines before descent.
I’m sure that without scouting those lines we wouldn’t ride most of the though sections. On the descent we stopped near park of natural sculptures and famous “Alien”. It is a stone shaped like alien head, which you can see on thumbnail of video. You werent on Poštak if You don’t have one picture with it.
Poštak is placed on Triad between Lika, Dalmatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and you have views in all directions in which you can enjoy before descent.
First part of descent is on steep trail with technical sections, but it is rideable all the way if you make detail scouting during ascent. I think we made a pretty good job at that and remebered all the lines. Later trail becomes combination of fast and flow sections and rocky technical descent.
Note: Due to frequent strong winds, be sure to check weather conditions. At the top, we had really strong wind that made descend at the top even harder, but we managed somehow. If you are not into MTB, I recommend you to hike this trail, even though descending on the bike is more attractive for me.
