163-Enduro Battalion

The longest series of sandy beaches in Croatia is located in the area of Dugi Rat. The attractive, but at the same time very accessible, beaches of Dugi Rat have been formed for centuries, and today attract the lovers of beauties that sandy beach offers from all over the world. Over its course, the Cetina River brought sand to the sea, to its mouth near Omiš, which was, blown by the wind and sea currents and deposited along the coast below Duće all the way to Dugi Rat, so that the western winds would bring it back to the opposite side and pile it up there, creating an area of shallow water that extends up to 400 metres from the shore. The natural features of these regions are accompanied by valuable cultural sights. St. Anthony’s Parish Church in Duće, dating back to 1864 was built on the site of a chapel mentioned in 1748. Its interior was painted in the 20th century, on the side walls are St. John the Baptist and St. Peter, and at the triumphal arch St. Cyril and Methodius with St. Anthony in the middle. The altarpiece of the main altar is a masterpiece painted by Vlaho Bukovac in Paris in 1886. Alongside the Virgin and Child, St. Stephen and St. Anthony in the foreground, the kneeling figure of St. Stephen appears.

Technical characteristics

The trail uses the same climb as the Dugi Rat Enduro Poskok (Viper) trail, which means that it already begins to climb at the end of the 1st kilometre after separation from the macadam road. The macadam road often widens and narrows, and the profile of the trail itself is undulating up to 3.5 km, where it begins a constant climb to the top, which is 3 km long and has an average slope of 7.5%. The beginning of the climb is on a macadam surface that narrows into a single track and later joins the road and has a constant slope. The main part of the trail comes in the form of a technically extremely demanding descent of enduro characteristics with an average slope of -25%, which is used for the purpose of enduro training and competition. A number of technical elements and very rough and demanding terrain await you. An MTB or E-MTB with a long travel suspension is recommended.
