About the route

“Oko Dalmacije” (the Eye of Dalmatia) is the popular name for what is probably the most spectacular source of the Cetina, which from above looks like the great eye of some mythical creature.

The route starts in Vrlika at Vrlička česma and heads towards Vinalić, where the first climb awaits, followed by a gravel descent towards the Cetina. It then follows the river, crossing Balečki Bridge and passing Pločasti Bridge, to the famous Eye of Dalmatia, after which it returns to Vrlika through rolling country.
