Cycling the Island: Proven Routes on Rab
From the Lopar tarmac to the forest gravel of Kalifront. Where to rent an e-bike and how to plan your ride smartly.
Rab is not a flat island, but with today's e-bikes available for rent at almost every corner, anyone can enjoy cycling here. These three routes show the best of the island.

The Lopar loop is the easiest and ideal for families. The entire route is paved, has no steep climbs, and leads you past the most beautiful sandy coves. In the summer, it is best to ride early in the morning before car traffic picks up.
For those who love the scent of pine and gravel roads, riding through Kalifront is a good choice. The paths are dirt and gravel, so you will need a mountain or gravel bike. The advantage of this route is the shade and the lack of cars.
If you want something longer, try the coastal road from Rab toward Mundanije. The view is beautiful, but watch out for the narrow road and local traffic.
Useful note: bring a spare tube and a pump, because there are no repair shops outside Rab town. And don't forget a helmet — on Rab's narrow island roads, safety comes first.
