Day 3: Biking Parenzana trail from Buje to Porec

After breakfast, start biking (on macadam) on the legendary route of the Parenzana, the former narrow-gauge railway line which penetrates deeply into the Istrian peninsula connecting 33 Istrian towns between Porec and Trieste, which today are located on the territory of even three states. Passing through magnificent rolling landscapes and lively Istrian vineyards, it will become obvious why it was also known as the wine railroad.

After passing through its several tunnels, and over old bridges you can stop at many fascinating viewpoints between the charming medieval town of Grožnjan and Vižinada before reaching Poreč. Poreč is a town where you can find material and spiritual evidence of great cultures at every step.

  • Elevation: +636 meters / -754 meters, +2086 feet / -2473 feet

Day 4: Bike Porec loop

Continuing along the trail, you will reach Višnjan, a little place that vaunts an astronomical observatory ranked among the 5 most important observatories in the world.

After riding along the coastline, reach Vrsar, a romantic fishing village where the famous Casanova came back even two times.

Your bike ride continues through the magical forest Kontija with a panoramic view of the beautiful landscape of Lim bay, passing by the old Benedictine abbey at Kloštar and the ruins of the medieval town Dvigrad. Just to stir your imagination – you are now in an area where many legends and mysteries based on historical events still live on: that of Dvigrad devastated by the plague because of an ancient curse, of the buried treasure of Captain Morgan's pirates near the village named after him (Mrgani), of the cave where the remains of the primitive man were found and where, as legend has it, St Romuald used to live as a hermit in the Middle Ages.

Passing Kanfanar and the hill Maklavun, an astral- archaeological site – tumulus from the Bronze Age, you will finish this day in Rovinj. Called also little Venice, Rovinj is a typical Mediterranean seaside resort that will seduce you with its extraordinary beauty. In the dense tissue of the old city center there are numerous magnificent palaces from different historical periods and today most of them host a gallery or an art studio.

If you follow the numerous chimneys of Rovinj and narrow meandering streets you will come in front of the baroque church of St Eufemia, the greatest monument in the city from which you can admire a magnificent view of the Mediterranean almost in your hand palm. Overnight in the Rovinj area.

Situated on a low coast, well protected from the open sea by the enchanting Brioni archipelago (nowadays a national park) and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves in the hinterland, Fažana was well known already in ancient Roman times.

Which city is situated on seven hills, has a magnificent amphitheater, and is not Rome? The answer is – Pula. No, it is not a mistake – you are, indeed, in front of Pula, the largest city in Istria. Pula is an enchantress with thousand appearances who has been casting spells on its visitors for centuries. This day, finish visiting the old city with the Sergius' Triumphal Arch (from the end of the 1st century B.C. and the beginning of the 1st century A.D.) and the famous Arena, a Roman amphitheater (from the 1st century B.C.). Overnight in the Pula area.

On the way you can find 22 types of orchids including the endemic species "Serapias Istriaca" (the Istrian orchid) see the so-called "islet – plate" where the dinosaur's footprint has been preserved, or find the remains of luxurious Roman villae rusticae. Overnight in the Pula area.
