Even in autumn, when it is already quite fresh to cycle in Austria, you can do your laps here in pleasant temperatures and enjoy a coffee during the breaks!

Valeta Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Best way to get halfway flat from Portorož to Strunjan. 550 m long, well lit and it only stinks when a moped is cracking.

One of the most beautiful bike tours ever. The Parenzana Trail is one you could do again and again, and the SALINE DI SICCIOLE are particularly beautiful, especially from the viewing platform on the Croatian south side. The bike paths in Slovenia are exemplary, with a few exceptions (the turnoff at Seca is dangerous).

Well, that was it, the last tour in 2022 - after that you felt so ill... Let's see what 2023 will bring!

Tour from Izola to Secovlje salt marshes. We also made it a little more adventurous: first up the mountains to Sared (which is a steep climb, sometimes involving pushing). Then an off-road path from Korte to the salt marshes. We came to a steeply sloping street along several houses (according to the sign 18%). Along the salt marshes to Croatia. …

A friend suggested this tour to me, so this morning with a green mindset, I left by train and then went for the Parenzana in the Slovenian area, very well marked and almost all asphalt in the Croatian part, here the territory changes and it's all dirt. See you tomorrow

I've been hearing about the Parenzana for years... finally I went to see what it was like, we decided that, given the waking up very early... the first stage would be quite short... and so it was. And for now... the Parenzana... is really beautiful!!

In Slovenia, the cycle paths are wonderfully signposted. Cyclists have the right of way almost everywhere. Very commendable. The highlight was a roundabout just for cyclists. Unthinkable in Germany.
