**UPDATE**
The City of Biograd has organised a special traffic regulation in Biograd during Croatia Harley Days. The peninsula is closed to traffic for all vehicles, apart for motorcycles. The citizens from the peninsula and delivery vehicles can ask for permits to enter the peninsula in the City Office and use them from 6:00 to 10:00.
If you’ve visited Croatia before, you’ll understand the term ‘rugged beauty’; if you haven’t, you need to see it to believe it. From the capital Zagreb in the north to Split and Dubrovnik in the south, Croatia’s neighbours include Slovenia to the north, Hungary to the north-east and Bosnia to the east. Inland, the rugged landscape is punctuated with beautiful waterfalls, twisty mountainous roads, and, lining the Adriatic Sea, the most breathtaking coastline that is almost too postcard-perfect to believe.
Nestled about a third of the way down is Biograd Na Moru, home for Croatia Harley Days 2011® and the 20th European H.O.G. Rally®. The perfect location for a Harley-Davidson® party, this coastal holiday town is also one of the best rally sites to date. Situated right on the water’s edge, the 2km-long event site will host two stages, feature 2011 Harley-Davidson® models which will be available for demo rides, dealers, traders, a technical area, Harley-Davidson® exhibition of bikes, parts and accessories, a beach party area with podium DJ, custom bike show, bars, hospitality areas, and plenty of seafront bike parking - all set against the beautiful backdrop of the Adriatic Sea and its many islands.
Visitors will not only enjoy a huge party Harley-Davidson® style, but also the many delights this region of Croatia has to offer, from dolphin-watching and submarine excursions to spectacular diving and snorkelling boat trips – and that’s before we even mention the biking roads!
A wide range of restaurants and bars serving a variety of Mediterranean food are complemented with plenty of accommodation for all tastes. A huge beachfront campsite marks the southern tip of the event site, while hotels, apartments and a range of ‘zimmer’ (rooms) are scattered throughout the town and surrounding area giving visitors plenty of choice for their stay.
Those who want to explore Croatia on two wheels will not be disappointed. A mountain range runs through the country north to south, marking the spine of the country. Twisty, well-maintained roads wind through the rocky terrain offer a beautiful view around every corner. On reaching the west coast, cameras at the ready. The crisp blue sea wraps around the many islands that lie off Croatia’s coastline. Clinging to the country’s edge, more fantastic biking roads offer riders a truly memorable journey when heading north to south.
More information to come as music line-up and entertainment is announced!
