Tuliševica: Mountain Biking Route and Dry Stone Heritage

Tuliševica offers different ways to plan a stay: a road with views of the Adriatic, the walking approach to Knezgrad, a mountain biking route and traces of the local dry stone and water heritage. The walking approach is listed as taking 50 minutes, while the cycling route can be assessed by its length, approximate elevation difference and route sections. This helps you distinguish between hiking, cycling and cultural themes when planning your stay in Tuliševica.

Road and walking path to Knezgrad

The road between Tuliševica and Lovranska Draga offers views of the Adriatic. The walking path to Knezgrad provides a different landscape: parts of the approach paths offer views of the Gulf of Kvarner. The walking approach starts in the town center and is listed as taking 50 minutes. The route passes the Kal rest area and the Šipičina viewpoint. The paths are poorly marked and overgrown; take this into account when planning. This gives you two different perspectives: the Adriatic from the road and the Gulf of Kvarner from the approach paths.

Mountain biking trail: route and key details

The mountain biking trail starts in the Marović area above Tuliševica as a forest road heading north. From there, it leads to the Učka Tunnel and then west toward Grnjac. From Mala Učka, it crosses a plateau and passes through a pine forest to Vela Učka; afterward, it follows a paved road to the Poklon Pass. The trail is 27 kilometers long, with an elevation difference of approximately 450 meters. The distance and approximate elevation difference indicate the scale of the route, while the forest road, plateau, pine forest and paved section make its course easier to visualize. Check trail conditions before setting out, as they may change.

Dry stone and water heritage

The large, walled cistern near the school in Tuliševica has been restored and features descriptive information. It is accessible to people interested in local ethno-ecological heritage. It is also regarded as a monument to earlier masonry craftsmanship. Check the conditions on site before your visit, as they may change. The Anton Plašimuha Ethnological Park is associated with a restored dry stone terraced landscape in Tuliševica. Dry stone heritage is reflected both in the landscape and in a specific event: on April 19, 2026, the eighth edition of the Kamik & Gromači dry stone workshop took place at Janjetići 27 in Tuliševica.

A historical account also links Tuliševica with Lovran: Andre Lazarić-Bak carried water from a well in Tuliševica to the old town of Lovran several times a day. This account of an everyday journey adds a different perspective on water to the story of the cistern.
