While we were still in Žuljana on summer vacation, near Potomje I decided to visit sv. Juraj trail, which I heard about from Dalibor. But before hiking on st. Juraj trail I took a XC ride that starts in Potomje, goes under the tunnel which leads to the west side of Pelješac. From there I followed unpaved road which has a nice look on the sea and local vineyards.

Descent from st. Ilija, which I rode for the first time in 2017. with Dalibor, is one of mine favorite rides, but this time I wanted to try another trail that goes from peak st. Ilija to Ruskovići along Kabal peak (this is the reason why this trail is called Kabal trail). I was surprised when Dalibor told me that this trail is going to be even harder than the first descent. I thought that he is exaggerating, but after ride I realized it was the truth.

Grobnik Alps (Hahlić) is mountain region above Rijeka and Grobnik. This is 5th time I’m visiting Grobnik alps, and fourth time by bike, but I’ve never visited this peak. I liked this ascent the best. Descent from Ćunina glava has nice views, enough of steep sections and very interesting technical sections that are very fun and challenging. Starting point is in Podkilavac. As all of my previous routes on Grobnik alps, they all lead to Hahlić mountain hut, so you can combine them.
