Does anybody know if there is a longer continuous ascent/descent then mountain Zavizan in Croatia 1570 m high and 28 km long?

In a later message to Andreas Caranti, Rajko added:

The ascent I had in mind is 77 km south from Rijeka and starts from the village Sv.juraj 11 km on the paved road to the village Oltari at 1000 m.from there 17 km on the unpaved wide road take you to mountaineers hut Zavizan at 1580 m. You can get food and accomodation there.
