ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
Livanjsko Polje is the large karst polje of the Livno area, one of the most extensive of its kind, and cycling across it is the way to feel the scale of the highland country that surrounds the town. The polje is open and comparatively level, a landscape of fields, karst and wide views beneath the surrounding mountains, and a ride across it gives the highland panorama at the pace of a bicycle. No verified canonical cycling route is given here — specific cycling routes will be created later in the outdoor-route phase — so the ride is undertaken with local advice on the current roads, the weather and the conditions. For a visitor with a bicycle and a sense of the highland weather, Livanjsko Polje is the cycling experience of a Livno stay.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
What you’ll experience
You ride across the open karst polje of the Livno area, the large level highland country that surrounds the town, on roads chosen with local advice for the day. The experience is of the scale of the polje — the fields, the karst and the wide views beneath the surrounding mountains — read at the pace of a bicycle, with the highland panorama opening as the ride moves across the plain. The exact route, the distance and the character of the ride depend on the roads and the conditions, and no verified canonical route is given here. The polje is exposed, so the weather and the wind shape the ride as much as the terrain.

Good to know before you go
Cycling across Livanjsko Polje is undertaken with local advice on the current roads, the weather and the conditions, because no verified canonical route is given here — specific cycling routes will be created later in the outdoor-route phase. The polje is exposed, so carry layers, sun and wind protection, water and offline navigation, and check the weather and the road conditions before setting out. Bicycle rental is not guaranteed; confirm the availability of a suitable bicycle and any transport locally.
