The Lynx Trail Bikepacking Route is a four day mountain biking route through the Dinaric Mountains from the DINA Pivka Center of Large Carnivores in Slovenia, to the vibrant city of Rijeka. It takes you from seasonal lakes through vast karst landscapes and seemingly endless mountainous forests intro Croatia before you finish your ride at the Adriatic Sea.

An educational bikepacking adventure, the Lynx Trail leads you through the habitat of large carnivores, including bears, wolves and of course lynx. Don't be scared though, as the chances of meeting them are small... However you will learn a lot about them and why they are so crucial to our ecosystem, as well as how we can respect their habitat.

Join us and fulfil the mission to protect the lynx!

We plotted the route to be ridden in four days. Of course, you can pick any pace you like. Just remember to take your time and soak in the landscape and the experience along the Lynx Trail.

Starter packages include a mission brevet card, a small X-Pac bag, a Lynx Trail mission patch, a voucher to cross the Risnjak National Park (you will have to get a ticket in Bela Vodica at the official entrance, so check their opening times in advance), and entry to the DINA Pivka Center of Large Carnivores. You can find more information on our website.

You can ride the Lynx Trail from 8th of April to the 4th of October. Over the winter months, higher parts of the trail will be inaccessible due to snow and trains will not feature the compartments to carry bikes.
