Descent from Sveti Nikola to Sveta Nedjelja was for a while on my bucket list, but for this holiday I finally managed to ride it. I started my ride in Starigrad. Since I only brought my e-mtb plan was to use as shortest and steepest uphill to st. Nikola peak.  St. Nikola peak offers great view which follows you all the way during descents. You can see steep vineyards above see.

 Plan was to ride circular route but I lost path on descent and wasn’t sure that I was going the right way. Since it was very hot I didn’t want to take a risk so I went uphill on the same way. Probably it would be better and more interesting if I followed the blue line on the picture below.

After I went back uphillon the same path I went on another descent on opposite side that leads to Starigrad. I was surprised by diversity between these two trails. Second descent also had switchbacks but unlike the south side had much higher soil base surface.
