๐Ÿ”” BASIC pack users: DO NOT SKIP reading the stage descriptions ๐Ÿ—บ

While FULL package users have all the information (navigation & descriptions & more) gathered in the palm of their hand ๐Ÿ“ฑ, when using the BASIC package there is a possibility of skipping a very important step in planning your route.

In one country there can be:

โœ… a main route,
โœ… a secondary route,
โœ… alternative suggestions within individual stages,
โœ… and even connector stages,

so it is essential that when getting ready for your trip you understand the sequence of individual stages and choose (load) the right ones ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you just load on your Garmin and click 'GO', your smart device can take you somewhere you don't want to be โŒ

Therefore: on the website, you have a map ๐Ÿ—บ with clickable stages and descriptions of individual stages (itinerary), which are numbered in the same way as in the basic navigation package.

This example shows the connector stage from Vilach in Austria to Tolmin in Slovenia.

Does that make sense? Do you understand? OK, thank you for your attention to this matter ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Let's talk about GRAVEL! โœ‹

We knew it would happen, but didn't expect it so soon. While it's a matter of months until the Trans Dinarica in Albania will be 100% asphalted ๐Ÿ‘ท, you are also informing us about the asphalting of sections in Bosnia and Herzegovina (thank you for that). For example, they recently asphalted the road to Prokoลกko Lake (photo is from 2023) ๐Ÿšง

What are your thoughts on this? The locals are probably mostly happy, at least those who use those roads to go to work or school. On the other side, better roads also mean better accessibility and more tourists (in cars, vans, buses ๐ŸšŒ).

And cyclists, do you like gravel? ๐Ÿšต Does it bother you when it gets rough? From which stage do you have good and maybe not-so-good memories? (we sense a debate about the section between Blidinje Lake and Mostar ๐Ÿ™ƒ )

What if we made a cycling country across 8 countries? ๐Ÿ’ก

The idea seemed crazy, but today we can say that it was worth the efforts. We crossed the Balkans so that you too can experience its beauty. By pedaling ๐Ÿšตโ€โ™‚๏ธ. What an adventure! ๐Ÿฆ„

โ„น New suggested accommodation: Joen Village, stage 10 in Albania ๐Ÿ“Œ

๐Ÿง Definitely save this one! Accommodation options are very limited ๐Ÿ” on the beautiful stretch between stage 8 and 10 in Albania, between Peshkopi and Librazhd.

Youโ€™ll find JOEN Village in Fushe Studen in Shebenik National Park, 'only' one long climb ๐Ÿšตโ€โ™‚๏ธ ahead of the planned finish of the previous stage in Sebisht. They offer two villas, each with two double rooms and two family rooms, a total of 8 rooms, which can accommodate up to 24 guests.

And for all you solo travelers, sharing rooms is also available at a more affordable price. And since youโ€™re a hungry cyclist, youโ€™ll be happy to know that breakfast ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ is included in your stay in Joen Village, while they also serve traditional local dishes for lunch or dinner ๐Ÿฒ. In addition to their car parking, they also have a secure bike garage ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿ”’

You can already find the recommended accommodation in the FULL navigation package ๐Ÿ—บ and on the website ๐Ÿ“ฒ

๐Ÿ”roads on Trans Dinarica ๐Ÿšต

These are not ALL of the most beautiful roads on the Trans Dinarica. These are the ones that stuck in our memory and we managed to capture on camera ๐ŸŽฅ

These are roads with views ๐ŸŒ„ that you have to work for. But after all the โ€˜type 2 funโ€™ comes a victorious feeling of satisfaction. "I did it. And I want more!" โœŠ

Fall in love with the mountain roads. With your strong legs. With the nature around you. And with the people who reward you with strong black coffee โ˜• or a hearty home-cooked meal ๐Ÿฝ

โš  Important: roadworks at stage 11 in Albania ๐Ÿšง

We received a message from a cyclist that a new highway is being built on the section from Librazhd towards Lake Ohrid. Our local partner went to check the situation and found that although traffic is not blocked, it is very inconvenient for cyclists. Therefore, we have added a warning on the website for stages 9-10-11 (it will also be updated to the FULL navigation package soon) with two possible solutions:

โžก in Librazhd, look for a bus transfer to Perrenjas or Struga or Pogradec (depending on your route)
โžก Two stages earlier, from Peshkopi, choose the route via Debar to Struga (Lake Ohrid) - which is a shame, because stages 9 and 10 in Albania are very beautiful.

The third option is to tackle a 20-kilometer dusty adventure ๐Ÿ˜ท

Unfortunately, we cannot talk about the details of the construction duration at the moment. If anyone has any other information from the field, please send it to us. Thank you!๐Ÿ’ช

Last call: guided tour in Slovenia ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ and Croatia ๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท

This post is for those who want to skip the hassle of finding airport transfers ๐Ÿš, assembling bikes ๐Ÿšฒ, finding accommodation ๐Ÿ›Œ and meals ๐Ÿฝ along the way.

Because people - and we, cyclists are people - are different ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšด

That's why it's great that the Trans Dinarica is available in different levels and this guided tour, organized by the official Slovenian Tour Operator Visit GoodPlace, is the most comfortable way to experience the route. Which doesn't mean that the route will be easy. YOU will still have to pedal ๐Ÿ˜œ

The 9-day guided adventure covers the part from Tolmin, Slovenia, to Senj, Croatia.

If you're tempted, jump on the Visit GoodPlace website, you'll find the Trans Dinarica Slovenia and Croatia Gravel Cycling Tour under the GRAVEL category. Bookings close on August 15th ๐Ÿ“† (or when the group is full)

๐Ÿ’ก If the date doesn't suit you, consider a self-guided tour, which is cheaper and allows more freedom in choosing dates and also in flying over the landscape during the day.

If you see an unusual road loop on the Trans Dinarica... it probably makes sense ๐Ÿค“ For example, the route on the Postojna - Ilirska Bistrica (Feel Slovenia) stage illogically turns east. But when you leave the main road and push your pedals uphill towards the forests below Mt. Sneลพnik, you quickly understand why. Hello forests, nice gravel roads and also some dreamy views from the karst meadows. Yes, there is a shorter way, but... Why? ๐Ÿ’š

Anyone who is hungry should ride to Maลกun(marked as a POI); they also have accommodation ๐Ÿฅ˜๐Ÿ 

And why were we on there again? We cycled the stage, one could say a reference stage for the TD, in the company of journalist Jan Grilc from the most listened radio station in Slovenia, Val 202. He was interested in Trans Dinarica and also paving the way for cycling tourism in the municipality of Ilirska Bistrica. We look forward to the report! ๐Ÿ“ป

It's nice to see that things are developing in the right direction along the red line on the digital map ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ

Travelers need somewhere to sleep and eat ๐Ÿ  - as a result, locals have jobs. This way, (young) people can stay in their beautiful, but sometimes economically not the easiest environments, instead of looking for work around the world. Thank you to the cyclists who understand and support this. We need each other more than we think ๐Ÿค
