Hairpins in Učka Park

My first track of this kind. The route is easy to drive; I can confirm the coarse gravel at the beginning, the hairpin turns can all be navigated without maneuvering, and there are also passing spots for oncoming traffic—though I was alone on the mountain. Great views on the way up and at the top of the plateau; the descent is mostly through the forest. Later on, though, you can see Rijeka Bay and the island of Cres. Few branches in the way, so almost no scratches. On the descent, there was a 30-cm step and a deep longitudinal groove—my passenger had to guide me through those sections.

The gravel is very coarse at first. But don’t let that put you off. The trail looks a bit “rough” at the start, but it’s passable in any off-road vehicle. The hairpin turns and the route in general look very narrow at times. As I said… I made it in a Ranger Raptor with wheel spacers. So don’t worry.
