MTB ride Brac Croatia

September 5, was a promising day when I left the Split ferry harbor with decision to take a mtb ride at Island of Brac Croatia. When we arrived to Supetar (see picture), it was already cloudy. Few moments of doubting the idea, and decision was brought – PROCEED ON!

What a mistake. 20 minutes later I got soaked as never before. Hard rain with the wind washed me from head to toes. Nevertheless I planned a short tour (Supetar – Sutivan – Lozisca – Nerezisca – Supetar), I brought a spare T-shirt, so I changed it when I finally reached Lozisca.

Whoever stumbled to Lozisca, found him or herself amazed by sight to everything but not usual bell tower of St. John and Paul Church.

It is a mix of several styles: neo-romanesque, neo-gothic and neo-baroque. Pretty amazing isn’t it: to see such a mix at such a place. The sculptor was Rendić, guy very keen of escapades of every kind, even though in architecture.

When rain finally stopped, I headed to Nerezisca. It is the worst part of this tour, as from Lozisca one have to pedal uphill for more than a two mile in a row, conquering elevation from 260 ft a.s. (Ložišća) to 900 ft a.s. (Dracevica).

I managed it somehow and here I am, in front of Nerezisca municipality border table.

From here to the center of Nerezisca was a piece of cake: 3 miles and elevation difference approx. 200 fts.

Here is the picture of another Brac Island miracles: the pine tree at the roof slope of St Peter’s Chapel.

The last part, from Nerezisca to Supetar I was driven by car, as rain started to fall again. Never mind, this part of tour is a constant downhill, and there is no joy for me

Till next post
