Tour details

The Podčabulja: The Trail of Karst, Horses, and Fields cycling route takes you through the incredible landscapes of Mount Čabulja, passing picturesque scenery, peaceful villages, and landscapes that have shaped Herzegovinian history and tradition for centuries.

Departure and Beginning of the Ride

Your cycling adventure begins at the foot of Mount Čabulja, where the road climbs toward the heights of this unusual, rugged mountain.

Cycling Through Picturesque Herzegovinian Landscapes

After the initial ride, the route leads you toward Široki Brijeg and further toward Mostarsko Blato, passing through numerous small but charming Herzegovinian villages.

The ride through the previously mentioned villages of Kruševo and Miljkovići brings you to Mostar, where your journey ends. The city welcomes you with views of the city on the Neretva River, and after cycling through the wild and untouched landscapes of Čabulja, Mostar will be a true cultural and historical surprise at the end of this cycling adventure.
