Putičanje – Cycling Route, Cultural Heritage and Olive Growing

Putičanje combines a cycling route, archaeological sites from different periods and olive growing. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay here, these features can help you decide whether the destination is right for you: cycling is tied to a clearly defined route, while cultural heritage and landscape offer additional, distinct points of interest.

Cycling on the A6 Route

The A6 Pakoštane–Šibenik cycling route passes through Putičanje, where it runs past old stone houses. It is 44 km long and paved throughout—two separate details about its length and surface that you can take into account when planning your stages. If you plan to include cycling in your stay, the route’s length gives you a concrete point of comparison for your own plans. An OPG supply option is also available on the A6 cycling route in Putičanje, by prior arrangement.

Archaeological Periods and Cultural Heritage

Gradina Zibonoga is a prehistoric archaeological site in Putičanje; Putičanje, Resičine ograde, is a medieval archaeological site in the village. The difference in period is clear: Gradina Zibonoga dates to prehistory, while Resičine ograde dates to the Middle Ages. Putičanje is also classified as an archaeological site of regional significance within the Pirovac area. The Church of St George in Pirovac–Putičanje is part of the cultural heritage and is considered an important spatial and historical landmark.

Natural Landscape and Olive Growing

Putičanje is included in the regionally significant protected natural landscape known as the Kašić and Putičanje Natural Landscape. Alongside the archaeological sites, the landscape and its regional protection are therefore also features to consider during your stay.

OPG Uroda is based in Putičanje and specializes in olive growing. The business offers online orders with delivery or collection. If you plan to visit, check the arrangements in advance.
