    I would say here's a good example. Use the up arrow to "go over the crest".

    The character is also similar to Barum, which also has jumps on tarmac. Based on google street view the roads in Croatia look wider and smoother. However, the street view images are often 10 years old and roads deteriorate or get maybe repaired and it's difficult to estimate road width from different lenses.

    Google street in Croatia is from 2013, I think. However, the region of Zumberak where friday and saturday stages are going to take place has extremely low population and density is one of the lowest in country. That's why I'm completely sure that there were no major changes on the roads. Maybe they deteriorated a bit but I assume that's all.

    Street view images have a time stamp nowadays on bottom right corner. Those roads Antti linked have been photographed in September 2011.

    That section looks very nice. Very Zlin-like indeed. In a post-pandemic world this looks like a good choice for a rally journey.

    Yes, close to the capital, easy accessible roads, pure natural environment...The only problem is COVID and I doubt that Croatia will allow spectators based on the current situation. We are currently on of the best in Europe but who knows what will happen in a month or so.

    Croatian asphalts are usually smoother and more slippery than Czech ones (extremely slippery when wet). Also I think that Czech stages are usually more changeable in everything (asphalt, character of the road etc.). Croatia will be I think more fuent, flowing and rhytmical than Barum and probably slower and more technical.

    And this is essentially SS19+21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf3RwhPmvfA

    I'd say it's the only twisty mountainous stage of the whole rally. It has like 20 hairpins.

    Yes, but the downhill part is different as on this link - the road is wider (for two way traffic, because uphil is narrow) with less turns and pretty steep on some parts - in opposite direction (uphill) is used for hillclimb races (link below), so some high speed sections are expected on this downhill.
