In planning this bicycle tour I have taken to ensure as far as possible avoid the busy streets of Krk. Only the first 2 kilometers and 3 kilometers from Vrh and Lakmartin are driving on the main road. But where the roads on the island of Krk is often better than the paved main street, the street itself on the beautiful Croatian island are very winding and each side is almost always thick bush with about 3-4 meters far. Therefore, one can in the center of the island of Krk on a biking tour also drive on windy days without pesky headwind.

The starting point of this bike tour is located near Kornić at a large, free parking. A few feet away waiting for you after the bike tour a beautiful beach with a restaurant. At the beginning, we have 2 kilometers goes high on the main road towards in the increase to Baska. Here one has to overcome already 170 Hm. After 7 kilometers you will reach with Vrbnik the first major city tour on this cycling tour in krk. A very idyllic town far away from mass tourism, with many old houses and narrow streets in the old town of Vrbnik. You should absolutely take the time to look around in the old town a bit. From Vrbnic you bike first on the same street back out of town and turn right towards Risika and Dobrinj. Shortly after we reached nearly Dobrinj 300Hm the highest point of this tour. By Vrbnic to Dobrinj there are 15 kilometers and 250 meters of altitude. Dobrinj is the second city when it is worthwhile to insert a pause. Though you can drive by Dobrinj on the ring road, but then you missed the beautiful view at the church after Soline and the beautiful little town square.

After the downhill you reach sea level again in Malinska. Malinska is a major port city with a few supermarkets. By Malinska after Kornić there are several small hills but which should be easy to provide for trained cyclists. On the road 104 is a lot of traffic if a ferry has arrived. Also in this section of Krk bike ride around the island shows itself from the original Art.

The Croatian island of Krk is situated near the city of Rijeka in the Kvarner Bay. Krk is the northernmost island in the Mediterranean and the second largest island in the Adriatic Sea. A large bridge links Krk since 1980 with the Croatian mainland. Approximately 18,000 inhabitants live on Krk. Due to its proximity to Austria, southern Germany, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania, tourism is the main industry on the Croatian island of Krk. At Krk you can carry almost all water sports and there are also many hiking trails and some interesting cycling tours. Between tours you can relax on the beach in the sun while lying down nicely after a strenuous day for the next cycling tour again very good regeneration. Most beaches on Krk consist of small rounded pebbles. Therefore, even the sea water near the beach is very clean and has a beautiful deep blue colour. One of the few sandy beaches is located slightly northeast of the Bay of Soline or Cizici. The cycling and mountain biking is possible on Krk because of the good climate, from late March to late October. The largest cities are on Krk: Krk, Baska, Malinska, Njivice, Omisalj, Punat, Baska Stara and Vrbnik.

Krk is the same city in which there is also the administration of the island of Krk. Particularly beautiful is the port of Krk with the beautiful square in the old town of Krk. Many simple pizzerias, cafes and shops enliven the square at the port. A romantic walk through the old, narrow, cobbled streets in the old town of Krk is also highly recommended. The town of Krk is also a good starting point for cycling on Krk.
Punat is one of the oldest resorts and is located on the west coast of Krk, only a few miles south of the town of Krk. Punat is well known for its large marina with over 1000 berths. Also, a small shipyard is located in Punta. Leisure activities in Punat: fishing, boat tours, nude, fitness, inline skating, jet skiing, karting, mini golf, boat rentals, mountain biking, Nordic walking, cycling, horse riding, sauna, swimming, sailing, surfing, surfing lessons, diving, diving school , tennis, pedal boats, hiking, waterskiing, and a visit to the outlying island worth visiting the Franciscan monastery.

Dobrinj is a small town in the northeastern part of Krk. The city Dobrinj is located a few kilometers from the coast to about 200 meters. This one has in Dobrinj a fabulous view of the northeastern part of Krk and the Croatian mainland. A particularly good vantage point is located in the Gothic stone church of St. Stephen. Also very nice is the quiet, sheltered main square of Dobrinj. Many old houses, narrow alleys and old parts of the walls from the times in which Dobrinj was a castle that exude a sense of calm and serenity. It almost seems as if time stood still.
Vrbnik is a romantic town on the east coast of the island of Krk. Vrbnik was built on a cliff about 50m above the beach. In the car-free Old Town of Vrbnik you can still admire the narrow, medieval streets and houses. Around Vrbnik is one of the major wine areas in Krk. Furthermore, the restaurants in Vrbnik - Krk together with the good wine and for the excellent cheese and for the many seafood specialties known. Not only in summer is Vrbnik very beautiful. In the spring, it is mainly the many flowering plants and in autumn can be enjoyed at almost the same warm sea and taste the freshly picked figs, grapes and olives.
