Few years before, we shuttled on Kraljica trail and I remember that this trail as one of the best mtb trails with few serious jumps and drops. Difference now is that we decided to go uphill by bikes and we also  visited another trail called Škabrijel. Ascent is most of the time on asphalt road, near the end we connected to macadam that leads on the entrance to Škabrijel. At the entrance is steel tower with nice view on surroundings, you can see mountain peaks and sea. Škabrijel trail was very nice, similar to Kraljica trail, but little easier. There were very well built jumps, gap jumps and drops. Few drops are very big, but mostly  there are chicken lines, so you can choose what to ride.

After finishing with Škabrijel trail, we connected on middle part of Kraljica trail by the rotor and descended to bottom. After that Gojsi, Ivan and I decided to go for another round of Kraljica trail, but this time from the top. Luckily Ivan and Gojsi had electric bikes so they gave me a little push with the rope.

Second half of ascent that starts after the rotor is very very steep, it is very hard to ride without the assistance, so best option for this kind of trail is shuttle or e-bike, because after this kind of steep ascent is very hard to stay concentrated for descend.
