It is a beautiful town with a beautiful promenade and beautiful beaches. But it doesn't quite match Piran 😉.

Short round on the coastal cycle path and with a lot of ups and downs with some 'pushing passages' (approved at >16%☺️) through the vineyards south of Kopa. Wonderfully quiet there on very lonely little paths. Mostly very good asphalt with only about 1km gravel. Always wonderful views of the coastal towns of Izola and Kopa. Of course, a short …

May 10, 2024,🇸🇮🏖️ Koper - Piran und zurück

Komoot started 6km late.
Cycled the first few kilometers on the bike path along the beach. Later I pushed the bike for a while. With a temporary handicap and no additional power, it was exhausting at times. Beautiful places that invite you to take a coffee break and more.
