Pathway - Running Track Osejava:
Running track, which runs through a pine forest, a length of approx. 3 km, leads to the hidden pearl of Makarska Riviera, the beach Nugal. Running track is diverse in the stage of the demands, so that there are easier and more demanding shares.
Cycling:
On the Makarska Riviera, there are many bicycle paths with different levels of demands. We suggest the following three paths:
1. Brela (Jakiruša) - Baška voda - Tenis Centar - Riva Makarska
2. Tučepi - Sv.Jure - Vrh Biokovo
3. Riva Makarska West - Osejava - Sport Centar
1. Start from Brela (Jakiruša) by a concrete road close by the beach to Veli rat (at that point, there is a narrow walk and a no cycling sign, and bikes should be walked), enter a "Blue Flag" zone all until "Soline" Hotel, where the "Blue Flag" zone ends, and head along a walk to Baška Voda. Then ride to a brook where a concrete road ends, and arrive to Promajna, passing through the village and by an asphalted road to Bratuš, followed by a small climb and descent to the beach in Krvavica. At that point starts a single track to a dense forest below Kuk. Then take macadam to "Makarska Tennis Center", head along a walk to "Plaža" restaurant and enter the town quay in Makarska. Take the same way back.
Lenght of the road: 31.8 km / Ride time: 3 h / Altitude: 48 m / Trail description: easy
2. From Tučepi - Makarska all the way to the entrance to "Biokovo" park, follow the main road Makarska-Vrgorac. The asphalt lane in the park itself is narrowed and after 5 km it ascends for almost 600 meters, which is quite a large slope. From the track to Ravna Vlaška there is approximately 4 km and only 250 meters climb so that is a real adjustment to mountainous conditions. Further on, it is a pleasant ride via first of the mountainous forests on Lađana, 1300 m altitude above sea level, all the way to Vošac. Somewhat more than 4 km later is the attack to Makarska "Mount Everest"; along the last serpentines to 1762 m. Take a small break in front of the lodging below Sv. Jure and then head to the top with a fantastic view on the "whole world" of Dinarid mountain chain and the Adriatic. Climbing to 1762 m altitude above sea level, approximately 30 km, is demanding and is considered a difficult route, taking 2 hours to the top. It all depends on the quality of a cyclist and age category. It is recommended to cyclists that passed a medical exam and have a safe and tested bicycle with full equipment and additional clothes, and certainly a head guard. The track itself is asphalted all the way. In the part from Sv. Ilija to Lađana, asphalt is damaged at some points and those with road bikes must be cautious.
Length of the road: 60.6 km / Ride time: 4 h / Altitude: 1760 m / Trail description: hard
3. Start from the town quay and head west by "Plaža" restaurant to "Dalmacija" hotel, and along the coast to "Makarska Tennis Center", where macadam starts. Follow the macadam part of the walk close by the beach to the area named Cvitaška, and before Potok turn towards Biokovo, that is, towards the main road. As you cross to the right, you are already in the surrounding of Vepric. At the very entrance, before a brook on the right, a track branches off and constantly follows the brook upstream from the west side of the hill. A single track leads you to macadam part of the track leading to the asphalted road Makarska-Veliko Brdo. After 300 meters, there is a branch road on the right heading to macadam road above Puharići. Above Batinići, the road connects to the concrete road to Makar. Along the graveyard, on the left, enter the village and head east by a country road close to the mountain edge on that side, descend to Mlinice and follow a mild macadam climb to Kotišina. From the village water well, you may take an asphalted road to the Botanical Garden, descend to the church - to the well and again take a pleasant descent to a road mainterenance post being a junction to Makarska-Vrgorac main road.
