One of the most beautiful bike tours ever. The Parenzana Trail is one you could do again and again, and the SALINE DI SICCIOLE are particularly beautiful, especially from the viewing platform on the Croatian south side. The bike paths in Slovenia are exemplary, with a few exceptions (the turnoff at Seca is dangerous).
