May 27, 2025,1ª tappa Parenzana:Trieste-Muggia-Grisignana

Arriving in Trieste by train, we made the transfer to Muggia where the famous Parenzana starts. This transfer could have been avoided, to be honest, but we found out about it later, I'll talk about it in the commentary on the last day. As soon as we entered Slovenia, the cycle path is all on asphalt, then as soon as …

August 22, 2022,02 Im Süden: Von Triest nach Križine

Today was the first real driving day in the south. And it was nice and warm overall.
We start well rested from the apartment in the middle of Trieste. First a lot of city traffic, but then we are positively surprised by the often well-developed and signposted cycle paths. In the beginning also a lot on any Way of St. …

Last leg to Croatia! 🥳 Let's start with breakfast on the Grand Canal! 🥐☕️🌅 My plan to bypass the busy expressways in Trieste worked quite well at first, but first led through a park and through residential areas very far up ↗️, but with a beautiful view! Then it went steeply downhill again in narrow alleys 📉 and through an …

September 6, 2024,Tag 8: Sistiana (I) -> Triban (HR)

We exchange ideas with another more mature cycling couple who have also cycled a lot in Europe. Then we head quickly along the rocky coast to Trieste. There, a huge cruise ship is being loaded and unloaded with tourists. Cycling through hilly Trieste is less fun. We reach the Parenzana cycle path and, unnoticed, Slovenia. We want to cycle through …

April 11, 2024,Dag 11 - Suvadrija

It is so beautiful here along the coast that we decided to drive the coastal route around Istria and not through the middle. For dessert we have a super beautiful, non-existent last spot at the campsite with an accompanying delicious dinner! 🥰

May 22, 2025,Croatia 🇭🇷 "Endspurt" zum Valamar Tamaris 🚲 🏖

🇮🇹 Today we set off early in Trieste, heading straight uphill into the districts of San Giusto and San Giacombo. 🛤 From here, a gently ascending former railway line begins, leading out of the city. Outside the city, we then descended towards the Slovenian border, naturally again including the section of the city motorway. 🇸🇮 From then on, the most …
