Hard – Moon Plateau Cycling Route 452
This demanding cycling route takes you from Baška up to one of the most surreal landscapes on Krk – the Moon Plateau. Designed mainly for mountain bikers, it’s a challenging ride with unforgettable views.
Starting in the centre of Baška, the trail climbs steadily through pine forests towards the plateau. Before you begin, it’s worth stopping at the viewpoint near the Church of St John the Baptist for a first panoramic view over the valley and Vela Plaža.
As you gain altitude, the landscape transforms into a rocky, almost lunar environment shaped by strong winds and nature. From the top, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views over Baška Valley, the Adriatic Sea, the Velebit mountains and nearby islands.
Along the way, you’ll pass traditional dry stone walls, grazing sheep, old wells and the characteristic stone sheepfolds known as mrgari – a unique example of local heritage and life on the island.
After the plateau, the route descends through vineyards and pastures before reaching the Mošuna area, where you can take a break. The return leads partly along the main road and then off road following the Vela Rika stream back to Baška.
