Through Croatia and Bosnia: 500 km of Gravel on the Trans Balkan Race Route
Posted by Umbria Bikepacking on 14.10.26
The wrong direction, and exactly why it’s the right one. While ultracycling’s top riders devour the Trans Balkan Race, the Umbria Bikepacking collective rides it backwards: five days, 500 km and 7,700 meters of climbing across Croatia and Bosnia, all on gravel. Along the way, Mostar’s old bridge and a plateau of wild horses where the silence repays every meter of elevation gain.
