This is a ride through lived-in mountain country: forest, scattered houses, meadows and old tracks across the ridges. The biggest technical pinch comes below Grashkina Mogila, where a short, steep descent is often better walked. **Ride:** climb the road from Tsarvula. At **5 km**, turn right off the asphalt towards **Treshtenik Hut**, then take the bungalow track. Go right downhill at **6 km** and left near **6.7 km**, passing **Kausha** and **Kyorovi Kolibi**. In **Yurcheni Kolibi, 8.2 km**, turn sharply left, then left again after **300 m**. At **9.9 km**, leave the main road straight/right for **Grashkina Mogila**. Join the larger road at **12.1 km**, take its right-hand hairpin at **12.5 km**, then continue via the **Gramadna crossing** to Tsarvula. Expect roughly **200 m of steep, eroded descending** below the top. Take lunch and use the roadside fountains on the climb if flowing. Starting at Treshtenik keeps the total distance but changes all the kilometre references above. ## Before you set off Check weather and access, carry the map offline and leave your route and expected return with someone at Coliving.
