From Porec via Visnjan, and then over the gravel path and the Parenzana tunnel to the artists' village Groznjan. Continue to Oprtaij for an insider's tip Restaurant Loggia on a serving of homemade pasta, and then back over Motovun and Visnjan. This is the most beautiful bike tour in Istria.

Grožnjan — Artists' Village

Highlight • Settlement

Grožnjan is a small Istrian town of great cultural importance, not only in Croatian but also internationally. Every year, at the beginning of May, the narrow streets of this village undergo a metamorphosis, giving rise to a fervor of events, including academies and art workshops.

Grožnjan is located on a hill overlooking the Mirna Valley. It was an important pre-Roman settlement, and later a Roman fortress. After ups and downs, Grožnjan came under the rule of the Republic of Venice from 1358 until 1797. In these first years the town was fortified with mighty walls and the Palazzo Ducale was built. The Porta Maggiore, very well preserved, has a drawbridge and the coat of arms of Captain Pietro Dolfin.

Parenzana Trail Section

Highlight • Trail

Up the mountains in a gentle ascent that's something, the nature on the right and left is awesome and with a MTB you can even forget the sometimes extremely strong gravel 🚵
