Beautiful route off the roads on the Parenzana. This is the former narrow-gauge railway from Trieste to Porec.

June 1, 2025,2Tappa Parenzana kaldania Novigrad

The Croatian part of Parenzana winds through the hills with a very varied terrain from beaten earth to rock paths with various tunnels. The landscape is a beautiful green hill with their bright red earth. The crops are vines and olive trees. The last part along the coast... very fascinating.

Day 3
Start again at ☀️😎 25° on the Parenzana cycle path. Today we continued inland along many hills and a fantastic green landscape, past olive trees and wine regions and only through two towns, Levada and Vizinada. But the former railway line in this section was paved with many tunnels, bridges and viaducts. It is an impressive sight to …

Definitely more strenuous than day one. The whole route has different types of loose ground and a bunch of rocks. I wouldn't do it like that anymore, but either without luggage or for two days.

May 28, 2025,2^ tappa Parenzana Groznjan - Parenzo

The second stage, in my opinion, was the most beautiful of the four, since we spent most of the journey in the shade and in the middle of the forest passing through suggestive and very refreshing tunnels. Obviously the photos were wasted this advantaged by the fact of having the brightness of the sun, and in these conditions we stopped …

May 22, 2024,Parenzana und Soča - Tag 5- Poreč Montovun Piran

It's done, the big bend of the Parenzana from Poreč to Piran. I don't know yet which feeling predominates. Pure relief because I managed to do this part in one day, contrary to the original plan, or joy because I got some nice pictures. On the way, it was sometimes too monotonous for me, because I ended up riding mostly …

August 2, 2025,Parenzana 2: Caldanìa - Porek

A very beautiful route, passing through small and interesting villages, lush forests, tunnels, and bridges over chasms. The scree-covered terrain is decidedly challenging; today I better understood the Parenzana, while the elevation gain is always gentle, without any sudden changes; after all, it's a route designed for trains.
The afternoon rain spoiled the party; never mind the first splash around …

It's great that everything went well again.
First a dream cycle path along the sea to Porec.
Then we cycled the Parenzan route for around 70 kilometers.
This is definitely not easy, very bumpy, sometimes muddy from yesterday's rain, but the views you get are amazing.
Photos just can't convey it.
We spend the night in Croatia once again, one …
