Parenzana by bike. From Trieste to Poreč along the former Istrian railway, between Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Ediz. a spirale

A journey that, connecting three nations – Italy, Slovenia and Croatia – crosses the most secret Istria, far from the holiday crowds. From Trieste to Poreč, passing through Koper, Portorož, Buje, Grožnjan, Motovun, Vižinada, along what was a very popular railway line between 1902 and 1935, today runs the Parenzana cycle path. 133 km accessible to all, equipped with effective signs and enhanced in the most interesting points, which lead to the discovery of the infinite suggestions of a territory suspended between the sea and the hills. An opportunity to meet and fully learn, with a slow and curious pace, the treasures of Istria: cities and towns rich in history and artistic preciousness; enchanting panoramas between sea and countryside, between the salt flats on the coast and the trekking routes of the interiors; a world of aromas and flavors, from oil to wine, truffles and the delicacies of a cuisine that is a melting pot of Mediterranean and Oriental traditions. The guide is enriched – in addition to a rich cartography – by all the technical and tourist information necessary to tackle the route in complete relaxation and safety.
