This summer we were staying in town Hvar so I found some local trails that seemed interesting for quick morning ride.  Above Hvar there is famous fortress “Fortica”, local people also call it “Španjola”. But for my ride I chose to ride on higher positioned Fort Napoleon. Since I brought e-mtb with me I decided to go uphill with some trail that seemed rideable. It showed later that it could be ridden with e-mtb. Uphill ride was also inspection of trail condition since I also planned to go downhill with the same trail, so I convinced myself that the trail is maintained.

Few years before this day, my girlfriend went on a hiking trip with her friend and they hiked around mountain Mosor. She was amazed. After hearing her story, and after I saw video from Kršni TV on youtube I knew I’m going to visit this mountain. So, after visiting Perun trails above Omiš I contacted Pere (again) and he, Dino and Marko guided us on Mosor and then on Žrnovnica (Both trails descent to Vilar, basin where we parked our cars). So we managed to ride in one day two great descents.
