Highlights
  • ROXANICH Winery and Design Hotel - Your guide will meet you at Roxanich Hotel in Motovun. After a providing a safety briefing, trip overview, and instructions on how to use the e-bikes, you’ll set off with the guide toward the town of Oprtalj. We’ll cycle up the biggest hill of our ride, but with the assistance of our e-bikes it shouldn’t be strenuous. We’ll take a break at the top to admire the stunning views of the valley below us.

Next, we’ll continue through the countryside, past small farms, fields and forests until we reach the town of Groznjan. We’ll park the bikes and take about a 30-minute to one-hour break. Your guide will show you around the small town and tell you about its history. You’ll have some free time to have a snack, a pizza, or a coffee or drink on your own.

After the break, we’ll continue our e-bike route and will enjoy the most scenic parts of the ride. We’ll cycle on the Parenzana, a historic railroad bed now used by cyclists and hikers. Pedal through a series of tunnels and over stone bridges as you take in the breathtaking views of Istria’s rolling green hills stretching into the distance. The loop route will take us back to the starting point just below Motovun.
