Bicycles are ideal when it comes to exploring Karlovac and its surroundings. It is also the most natural means of transportation, as it connects you to the nature and as it has a long tradition in the Karlovac history. Bicycles used to be so important that we even had our own rules for their use in the streets. Today, some of those rules are out of use, like those concerning the overtaking of riders, so that now we have road signs and cycling lanes. The oldest bicycle, the velocipede, is exhibited at the Town Museum. It is only used for photographs nowadays. Honour its memory and start exploring the town on your bicycle.

Two of the major Croatian cycling routes go through Karlovac, the one from Slovenia to the Plitvice Lakes, and the other from Bosiljevo to Zagreb. Thanks to the exceptionally preserved natural surroundings of the Karlovac area, the picturesque countryside with plains, rivers, wooded hills and mountains, cycling will ensure an unforgettable experience. A highly recommended adventure route: from Karlovac, via Ogulin, to Novi Vinodolski, along the historic Rudolfina road.
