Day 1 – Mojan Loop

Day 2 – Levade Truffle Loop

Day 3 – Buje Loop

(62 km / 977 m)

This morning’s ride takes us into the hilltop heart of Istria. The climb toward Buje gradually lifts us through olive groves and orchards before revealing one of the region’s most charming medieval towns. Encircled by ancient stone walls, Buje sits proudly above the surrounding countryside, offering panoramic views that stretch all the way to the sea on clear days. The descent flows through a mosaic of farmland and sleepy hamlets, where narrow lanes and vineyard-lined roads lead us quietly back to our base.

Day 4 – San Cazian to Opatija

(79 km / 1,488 m)

Today’s route carries us from the countryside to the coast, tracing an evolving landscape that shifts from wooded hills to dramatic seaside cliffs. We climb through forested passes and descend into valleys dotted with small villages before reaching the glittering Adriatic shoreline. The final approach to Opatija unfolds along elegant coastal roads, where Belle Époque villas and palm-lined promenades recall the town’s historic role as a 19th-century resort for European nobility. The combination of climbing, scenery, and seaside grandeur makes today one of the most visually striking rides of the week.

Day 5 – Beach Coffee Ride

(47 km / 746 m)

A more relaxed but no less beautiful day invites us to explore the coast at an unhurried pace. We follow gentle rolling roads that hug the shoreline, passing secluded coves, pebble beaches, and crystalline turquoise waters. Short climbs reveal elevated viewpoints over the Adriatic before sweeping descents return us to the sea. The ride is punctuated by stops at seaside cafés, where espresso and pastries are enjoyed with our feet nearly in the water—a perfect moment to absorb the easy rhythm of coastal life.

Day 6 – Nova Vas Loop
