Učka MTB - Outdoors Croatia

Učka je poznata po predivnom pogledu s kule na vrhu Vojak, međutim za biciklizam su puno zanimljiviji makadami na visoravni južno od vrha. Krenuo sam u zoru iz Mošćenica, zapravo sam malo kasnio jer sam dugo obilazio gradić. Uska asfaltirana cesta, zatim makadam na kojem su strmiji usponi betonirani, na kraju jaki uspon i dosta rasuta podloga dok nisam izašao na 850m. Predivan pogled na Vojak i unutrašnjost. Super makadam s malo visinske razlike i visoki borovi koji više podsjećaju na palme u Miami-u. Još jedan uspon prije Male Učke i izlazim na predivnu livadu s pogledom na more i Rijeku. Odavde staza koju sam pratio (biciklistička staza 8, PP Učka) silazi do Lovrana pa prati cestu natrag do Mošćenica. Ja sam bio pametniji pa sam se spustio direktno kroz šumu gdje sam na Google Earth-u vidio stazu. Staza postoji, ali je jako zarasla pa sam se morao probijati kroz šikaru otprilike jedan kilometar do makadama s druge strane. Prešao sam ukupno 35 km sa 1150 m uspona. Prije desetak godina, dok sam pisao za Biker Magazin, smo supruga i ja vozili ovdje dva dana, spavali smo u Pansionu na Poklonu. Slike i gpx staze br. 8 na linku: drive.google.c...
Učka is known for its beautiful view from the tower at the top of Vojak, but the macadam roads on the plateau south of the top are much more interesting for mountain biking. I left Mošćenice at dawn, in fact, I was a little late because I was touring the town for some time. Narrow asphalt road, then macadam on which steeper ascents are concreted, finally a strong ascent and quite scattered ground until I reached 850m. Beautiful view of Vojak and the inland. Super macadam with a little height difference and tall pines that remind more of palm trees in Miami. Another climb before Mala Učka and I have arrived on a beautiful meadow overlooking the sea and Rijeka. From here, the trail I followed (bike trail 8, PP Učka) goes down to Lovran and follows the road back to Mošćenice. I was smarter so I went down directly through the woods where I saw a trail on Google Earth. The trail exists but is very overgrown so I had to make my way through the bush about one kilometre to the gravel road on the other side. I covered a total of 35 km with 1150 m of ascent. About ten years ago, while I was writing for Biker magazine, my wife and I drove here for two days, sleeping in the Pension on the Poklon pass.
