Few days before this ride I was looking from beach on surrounding hills above Žuljana and wondered how many  mtb trails they hide. Later I found out that there is interesting peak st. Ivan with nice view, but used mostly by hikers. I asked local mountainbikers about possibility to go with mountain bike, but nobody didn’t have useful informations so I decided to check it on my own. I went on a hiking with my girlfriend and did some trail inspection and immediately realised that this trail is hidden gem, even though it was overgrown on few sections it was possible to pass through with the bike.

After hiking, the next day,  I went on a ride very early to avoid heat during ascent. Start was from my apartment in Žuljana, and from there I followed asphalt road that connects to Dubrava, but just before Dubrava turn right on gravel road which is old Napoleon path that goes along main road.

Omiška Dinara is Hill near Omiš town surrounded with beautiful Cetina river and Adriatic sea. Its highest peak is at 864 m. Omiš is  great town because it has a lots of potencial for outdoor sports (zip line, rafting, hiking, climbing, swimming and of course mountain biking). I heard of Imber trail from a friend from Pelješac, so i decided to visit Omiška Dinara while I was traveling from Ploče to Zagreb. Luckily, I already bought gimbal while riding this trail, because it is very rocky, and stabilization had a lot of job.

I started biking pretty late, at 12:00 o’clock and it was already more than 30 degrees Celsius so I drank a lot of water. At first there is ascent on paved road, then 1 hour hiking . At the top you can enjoy the site, and a rest a bit for downhill section.

I like this trail a lot because it has everything, nice view, rock sections and flowy sections in the woods. On the end of the descent there is Cetina river so you can refresh a little bit before coming back to town. On the beginning of the route, near parking spot, you can see climbers.

Note: This route can be combined with Omiš Kostanje Gata Zakučac route : http://cyclotrail.com/omis-kostanje-gata-zakucac/
