Trans Dalmatia is a local cycling project
Maps don’t tell you everything.
Trans Dalmatia is a local cycling project dedicated to creating and sharing the best cycling routes in Dalmatia and the Zadar region.
We’re three cyclists based in Zadar, Croatia, who spend most of our time riding along the coast, across the islands, and through the quieter inland roads. We’re not professionals, just passionate riders who know these routes firsthand.
Over time, we realized something: finding truly good bike routes in Dalmatia isn’t always easy.
And the most enjoyable cycling roads are often the ones you don’t immediately see.
So we started building Trans Dalmatia — a collection of real, tested cycling routes across Dalmatia.
- Built by local cyclists
Every route on Trans Dalmatia is designed and ridden by us.
It’s about the stretch of road between them. The climb that opens up to a view. The descent into a quiet village. The unplanned stop that turns into the highlight of the day.
You set the pace. You decide when to stop.
That’s the experience Trans Dalmatia is built around.
What makes our routes different
We focus on quality over quantity.
- Our cycling routes in Dalmatia are:

- Balanced between climbs, flats, and recovery sections
- Suitable for real-world riding conditions
- Designed with natural stops like viewpoints, beaches, and local café
- You’ll find:
- Coastal cycling routes with Adriatic sea views
- Island cycling routes connected by ferries
- Inland bike routes through villages and landscapes
- Multi-day cycling itineraries across Dalmatia
- Experience
Cycling in Dalmatia, at a different pace
Dalmatia is one of the most diverse cycling regions in Croatia — but it’s best experienced slowly.
On a bike, you move differently. You notice the landscape, the wind, the silence of inland roads, and the character of each place you pass through.
Trans Dalmatia is built around that idea: cycling routes that let you experience Dalmatia, not just pass through it.
- Who it’s for
These routes are for cyclists who want more than just distance.
If you’re looking for:
- Scenic cycling routes in Croatia

An independent cycling project
Trans Dalmatia is an independent project created by local cyclists.
No mass-generated routes. No shortcuts. Just carefully built cycling routes in Dalmatia that we ride ourselves and continue to improve over time.
See you out there.
