ZAGREB, 23 May, 2021 - The Daruvarske Toplice spa in Daruvar, 140 km east of Zagreb, is the first tourism facility in Bjelovar-Bilogora County that has met all the criteria for providing specific services intended for cyclists and has gained the right to use a Bike & Bed Certificate. 

This continental county has more than 400 kilometres of cycling trails and routes.

So far HRK 2 million has been invested in the development of cycling tourism, installation of info boards, development of the mobile application for cycling trails and routes, installation of solar stands for bicycle repair, and preparation of new trails.

One of the activities was also the development of the standard for bike & bed accommodation facilities, which includes provision of information on cycling trails, cycling guides, repair, rental and transport services, and various events.

The first Bike & Bed Certificate has been awarded to Daruvarske Toplice hospital for medical rehabilitation and a dozen more are expected to be awarded in Bjelovar-Bilogora County in the coming period.
