In front of the spring, there's a small shop selling ice cream and souvenirs, as well as a self-service bike shop. Unfortunately, the bike pump is currently broken.

Kijevo is located on the road between Knin and Sinj, in a fertile valley between the Dinara and Svilaja mountains. Near Kiev are the sources of the rivers Cetina and Krka, and the highest peak in Croatia, Sinjal.

The "Blue Eye" is also the source of the Cetina River.

These old piles of stones tell of days long gone and give the tour a special atmosphere. The bridge is certainly not an obstacle that you can easily cross, but it is ideal as a photo opportunity and a short stop to take in the surroundings. Nature seems to have taken everything back under its control, which gives the route a wild, rustic charm. If you need a little break, you can take your time here and take in the landscape before you get back on the saddle.
