Biking (uphill) to Učka Mountain in Croatia. The proud guardian of Istria and Kvarner.Učka is the only mountain in the Dinaric mountain range stretching northeast-southwest, perpendicularly to the direction of the Dinarides. The steep slopes displaying alternations of rocks, woods and grassland and offering spectacular views from their tops, numerous water springs and settlements, separateness and closeness to the sea make Učka unique and special. This mountain is equally wonderful to look at from the inland of Istria, Rijeka or Gorski Kotar, as well as from the islands of Kvarner. Of course, it is even more beautiful to explore it from the inside, which is not difficult as entire Učka is interwoven with a network of mountain trails both for hiking and biking. Učka is on the eastern side of the Istrian peninsula and acts as a demarcation line between Istria and the Littoral Region. It stretches some 20 kilometres from the saddle Poklon to the Plomin Bay, where it abruptly descends into the sea. Although its summits are not particularly high, due to the steep slopes that are located close to the sea, Učka seems much higher than it actually is. Still, getting to the top takes time and is not as simple as one might think, as 1400 meters above sea level must be mastered. The main excursion destination on Učka is the saddle Poklon, which can be reached from all coastal towns – Opatija, Ičići, Ika, Lovran, Medveja, Mošćenička Draga. It takes some 2-3 hours of walk to get to Poklon from the Istrian coast but for those who wish to experience the most beautiful part of Učka, its top, it is best to drive to Poklon by car and continue hiking towards Vojak. Poklon is the location from which the sea and the town of Rijeka can be spotted for the first time and this is why it has long been a popular stop for travellers. When the pilgrims from Istria would first sight Trsat from that location, they would commonly bow to Our Lady of Trsat. A memory of this custom remained in the name of Poklon (a bow).
