Cycle the Balkans

Get your legs moving on a Balkan cycling adventure from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo. Ride along the Ciro Trail – a new rail trail that follows the now defunct Austro-Hungarian railway line, visit the Ostrog Monastery and take in the coastal views as you follow the shoreline of the Bay of Kotor. Explore Kostar – the 5th-century UNESCO World Heritage-listed city – and Mostar to see the bridge divers hurl themselves off the Old Bridge into the Neretva River. As you ride, pass abandoned hamlets, local shepherds, scenic flats and rolling country and spend free evenings soaking up the local culture.
