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.

Since this E-mtb ride is one of the many variations of my previous rides on Samoborsko gorje, I will not go into details about it. You can just download my gpx file and follow it. You can ride it with normal bike also, but yuo have to be in very very good form, and be prepared to all day ride and a lot of pushing your bike on your feet.

Črna Prst is a mountain in the southeastern Julian Alps. Standing at 1,844 metres, it is the 370th–highest peak in Slovenia. In the interwar period, the mountain ridge marked the border between the Kingdom of Italy and the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The floral richness of the vast grassy slopes have fascinated botanists and visitors to the mountain world since the late 18th century, in particular the meadows of flowers on Črna Prst. The exceptionally diverse flora are due to the geography of the ridge, which experiences a mixed alpine and coastal climate, as well as the unique rock composition. The Slovene name Črna Prst, meaning ‘black soil’, is derived from the unusual patch of psilomelane (a dark manganese ore)^[3] and dark shaley claystones by the summit, clearly visible from the north-east.
