Cycling through Trgetari

The Staza Liburnia and 406 ARSIA cycling routes both pass through Trgetari. This gives you two named routes to consider when planning your ride. Check current route conditions before setting out. If cycling is your main focus, you can plan around one of these routes; the ruins of the Church of St. Jerome offer a different, historical point of interest.

The ruins are located in a field near Trgetari, and their age has not been determined. They add a historical thread to the cycling focus, without requiring a fixed sightseeing itinerary. Those interested in churches and regional history can consider this site alongside the wider attractions of the Municipality of Raša.

Culture and landscape in the Municipality of Raša

The Municipality of Raša also offers a distinct perspective on mining history. The town of Raša was built between 1936 and 1937 as a planned mining town, based on designs by architect Gustavo Pulitzer Finali. Its history began in the 1930s in the valley of the Krapna stream. The mine employed more than 10,000 miners from 1928 to 1966. The mining heritage of the town is presented at the small Centar Arsia museum on Raša’s town square.

The Church of St. Barbara in Raša is an architectural feature of note. The modernist and rationalist building has a 25-metre-high tower. Its shape recalls an inverted mining cart, while the bell tower resembles a miner’s lamp. This is how the mining theme is reflected in the design of a building. Centar Arsia is accessible to people with disabilities and those with limited mobility; confirm this information before your trip.

Kova Experience offers tours of the mine. During the tour, you enter a mine and experience a day in the life of a miner. Check the booking details before your trip. For a different focus, the Bella Vista hiking trail follows a white road through Gora Glušići to Skitača; from there, the route offers a view of Kvarner. Check trail conditions locally. Skitača is also home to the single-nave Baroque Church of St. Lucy, built in the early 17th century.

Consider whether you would like to plan your trip mainly around a cycling route or around the region’s cultural and hiking opportunities.
