07.10.2005Ogulin and its surroundings by bicycle
You will experience the most beautiful view of Ogulin with its surroundings after the ascent in the first part of the track. In the second part, you cross the river Dobra and small villages entering Ogulin through a beautiful avenue of trees from the direction of Oštarije.

In the centre of Ogulin, there is Đula´s abyss, known for the legend of Đula or Zulejka who, unhappy in love, threw herself into the abyss of the Dobra River. The earliest records refer to Ogulin as Zulum grad (Zulum Town) or Julin grad (Jula´s Town), so that we start our ride at the very historicalroot of the today´s town. After the ascent, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the whole town with the surroundings and the Klek Mountain above the town. As the road takes you through the village of Trošmarije and along the Dobra River and the high-road, you ride in the hilly area towards the village of Tounj. Tounj is on the Jozefina road, and is famous for the two-storey stone bridge across the Tounjčica River, which was built in two phases and is unique for its construction and shape. The route will provide you with a pleasant ride and take you to the Ogulin field, which is one of the largest karst fields in Croatia. On the way back, you can not miss the Marmont´s stone bridge in O?tarije and the Sabljaci Lake, where you will find the city has a rich cultural and historical heritage.
