How to Get There
Unbridled Adventure in the Kvarner Islands
The 2025 stages will follow that order: Prologue Unije, S1 Lošinj, S2 Cres, S3 Krk and S4 Krk (Baška).
By Plane
For the 2025 race, the start of the event will indeed be in Mali Lošinj, with registration also held there. The race will end in Baška on the island of Krk.
As for travel logistics, we could recommend those arrival airports:
Zagreb (ZAG) – the capital of Croatia
Rijeka (RJK) – direct flights from London / Brussels / Stockholm
Zadar (ZAD) – is centrally located in Dalmatia
Offers connections via ferry services to Mali Lošinj. Riders would need to arrange their own transfer from Zadar airport, but this option might be preferable to those arriving from certain international routes. For the return, a private transfer would be necessary from Baška back to Mali Lošinj, where riders could board a ferry back to Zadar.
By Car
Depending on your starting point, there are two main directions for getting to the start of the race in Mali Losinj (Unije) on the island of Losinj:
-
Ljubljana (Slovenia) – Rijeka (Croatia) – Krk – Ferry Port Valbiska (Krk) with the Ferry to Merag (Cres) – then by car to Losinj
-
Vienna (Austria) – Graz – Maribor (Slovenia) – Zagreb (Croatia) – Rijeka – Krk – Ferry Port Valbiska (Krk) with the Ferry to Merag (Cres) – then by car to Losinj
NOTES:
-
The island of Krk is connected to the mainland by a bridge.
-
Parking is available and free of charge for all participants at the Family hotel Vespera (Mali Losinj) for the duration of the race. However please keep in mind that you would 1) either need somebody who drives your car from stage to stage as you as a rider will travel sometimes by ferry, etc. or 2) if you leave your car in Mali Losinj for the event duration, you would need to organise yourself a transfer back from Baska (island Krk) to Mali Losinj (island Losinj) after the race. There is no transfer organised by us after the race.
-
If you arrive by car, we would recommend you to book the Park & Ride Service organised by us. Please find more details here: 4islands MTB Croatia | A Unique Race in the World of MTB That way it would be stressless for you as you don´t need to think about how you get your car after the race.
