The Experience

Before You Go

Charge and confirm e-bike range

Although batteries are provided, confirm full charge before departure and limit unnecessary high-assist to preserve range for climbs and the return.

Bring a refillable bottle

Water sources in the hills are limited—carry at least 1–1.5 L per person for a 5–7 hour outing.

Layer for variable mountain weather

Wind and sun can alternate quickly near Blegoš; pack a lightweight windbreaker and a sun hat.

Respect farm property

If stopping at Pr Andrejon or other homesteads, ask before photographing and follow host guidance on access.
