Day 1: Split → Tučepi

After finally picking up my bike in Split, my journey began with a breathtaking view of the azure blue sea. The first stage took me along the coast, the traffic was pleasant and I was even accompanied by a tailwind - a promising start. However, after about 40 kilometres, an unexpected defect on my pannier rack caused me problems. A short odyssey, which took me back 8 kilometres, finally ended in a shop that fixed the rack with Balkan-style, armoured tape and a pinch of improvisation. Additional information: On the route between Split and Tučepi, you can visit the historic town of Omis. Omis lies on the banks of the river Cetina and impresses with its medieval architecture and views of the surrounding mountains. Another highlight is the Biokovo mountain range, which stretches out in the background. It not only offers spectacular views, but also numerous hiking trails for the adventurous.
