This is where you go to the mainland. "Don't pay the ferryman" didn't work. Tickets for €5.60, including bike, are available at the terminal.

From here, it's just a short stretch along an asphalt road to the fortress. But the climb is quite steep in places.

Cross the river directly by bike without a car. It's cheap, easy, and worthwhile. Or rent bikes directly at the port in Preko.

Easily accessible with an electric drive and also doable without a motor, walking is possible but it takes a while as the route is well developed and therefore not very protected from the sun and wind.

Top Destination. Only the pump (SKS) for bicycles is broken. It needs a little care.

beautiful stone bridge leading to the city gate of Nin

Nin is the oldest Croatian royal city. The picturesque old town is located on a small island in the middle of a lagoon. Nin has the smallest cathedral in the world. You enter the city via a brick bridge with a great city gate. As soon as you walk through it, you are captivated by the atmosphere of the old town. I was particularly fascinated by the remains of a Roman temple. The old town is small but beautiful.
