This fantastic electric bike specific itinerary explores the many diverse trails of Terra Magica, the ‘Magic Land’ of Istria. Our high quality full suspension pedal assisted mountain bikes allow us to tackle all the biking highlights of the region including climbing to the summit of Mount Vojak, powering through the technical sections of the the Skitaca peninsula or cruising to the medieval hilltop town of Motovun.
Basing ourselves in Rabac, a small town perched on the shores of the Adriatic, we will make use of short transfers each day to visit many unique regions of the Istrian peninsula. The riding is varied and rewarding; with most days featuring interesting challenges in the form of short technical sections or the odd cheeky climb. We’ll visit the Parenzana, the most well-known cycle trail in Croatia, a converted railway linking the idyllic villages of Grožnjan, Motovun and Vižinada. Our local guides will show us the secret trails through these wild hills and beautiful nature reserves. With variable daily distances and a focus on fun routes this holiday is the perfect adventure for a wide range of riders.
Istria is one of Europe’s best kept culinary secrets and we will have the chance to sample the high quality, locally produced olive oil, truffles, honey and of course a glass or two of local vino.
With beaches, pools and walking opportunities on site this is the ideal tour for mixed abilities groups and non-riding partners, while keen riders can explore the local trail centre to add a few extra miles on any day.
Why go Electric? Our Electric Mountain Bike version of our Terra Magica tour allows you to enjoy more of the great riding in Istria. For some riders this may mean simply that they can tackle a trip with higher daily distances than they would otherwise be comfortable. We have, however, also included a number additional highlights including a full descent from the highest point of Istria to sea level and extra opportunities to sample the exquisite single track of Grožnjan and Rabac.
