Description of the most important climbs
The first climb is the same for both tracks and is 2,5 km long with the maximum incline of 5%. It climbs on the south slope of Lim fjord (the race was named after Lim fjord).
In the short track, on its way back (after Bale and Sošići) it climbs from Lim fjord on the north side and it is almost the same as the first climb of the south side.
In the long track it climbs mildly after Sošići towards Žminj. After Beram (Pazin), there is a 2km climb on Kićer (with 6-7% inclination) to Katun Trviški. There is a climb to Kaldir, 1km long (with 5-7% inclination), just before the descend to Motovun and river Mirna. Once you’ve passed Mirna, there is a climb to Vižinada 5km long, with the inclination from 4 to 7%, which is at the same time the last meaningful climb of the track.
Especially critical stretches
