| Route 9. Saborsko - Rakovica - Saborsko |
 We start the ride from the centre of
Saborsko on an easy ascent. Upon entering
the forest, followed by Čorkova
Uvala, you will reach the natural phenomenon
of virgin forest and the National
Park of Croatia. The feeling that you are
in a prehistoric film will follow you all
the time because the high plains appearing
along the route will leave you breathless.
When you reach the Kozjak Lake,
you will get the view of the blue and
green pearl, and you can descend all the
way to the lake. Continue the ride to
Rakovica, and you will be able to enjoy
the tourist facilities of the area, with the
unavoidable visit to Baraćeve špilje
(caves). The return to Saborsko through
the forest area will give you the open
views on the endless green of Kapela.
Total route length: 63.9 km

| Route 10. Slunj - Cetingrad - Slunj |
 You start from the Centre of Slunj,
through which passes Jozefina, and
ascend passing by the Old Town towards
the village of Popovac. Through the high
land, you will get close to the neighbouring
country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The ascent will take you to the ruins of
the Old Town in Podcetin, with a beautiful
view of Cetina and the neighbouring
country. Cetingrad has played an important role in Croatian history; it was the
site where the first Croatian Sabor (parliament)
session was held. The town will
welcome you with
its renovated
architecture and
hospitality. The
greenery of the
forests and the
fields will follow
you on the way
back to Slunj. At
the place called
Ponor, one kilometre away from the
track, there is an unusual cave by the
river. On the right side, just before the
centre of Slunj, you should go down to
see the village of Rastoke. The unusual
architecture ofthe houses, whose foundations
are made of limestone, will not
leave you indifferent; and the streets are
variegated with numerous waterfalls of
the Slunjčica River, famous for being
clean and drinkable.
Total route length: 49.8 km
Altitude difference: 201 m
