The Parenzana Cycling Trail.
More information on the trail can be found here: https://www.parenzana.net/
The cycling trail stretches from the Italian coastal town of Muggia along the route of an old narrow-gauge railway line, making use of the many bridges and tunnels as it winds past beaches, to the coastal Sečovlje salt pans before moving through the hills and down into Poreč. The railway transported wine and olive oil between 1902 and 1935 but now provides a spectacular cycle path. The route is mainly asphalt in Italy and Slovenia, but changes to a gravel trail in Croatia. With a good trekking bike you should have no issues navigating the entire trail, as you can see from the videos.
Part 1 – 38km. Starting in Muggia, Italy, part 1 of the Parenzana trail shares the same route as the Eurovelo 8, taking you into the countryside over rolling hills, crossing the border into Slovenia before descending back to the Adriatic at Koper. The ride then travels along a dedicated cycle path that hugs the shore to Izola before crossing the town and up into the hills. This part takes in a couple of superb tunnels before descending into the resort town of Portorož. The ride then travels along yet another coast-hugging track past the spectacular 13th century Sečovlje Salt Pans, which still produces sea-salt via traditional methods. Finally we finish the first part of the ride at the Slovenian/Croatian Border checkpoint.
The full Parenzana cycle ride is available in 4 consecutive parts either with or without telemetry
