September 18, 2023,Parenzana-Trail 🇭🇷nach Piran (Slowenien 🇸🇮)

Great tour to beautiful Piran!
The “cycle path” actually turns out to be a trail, at least in Croatia! So not so easy for trekking and gravel bikes...👆All in all it was a good 70 km (there and back.)

August 15, 2023,entlang der Parenzana nach Groznjan ☀️🚴🚴

The Parenzana is a former railway line that ran between Trieste and Porec. Now it is a cycle route with a fairly pleasant incline in a beautiful landscape.
Our destination today was Groznjan - an artists' village with many small galleries 🤩.
