Biking the Parenzana Trail
Ride down the Parenzana Trail, relive the history of its namesake railway and sample local food and wine on this biking tour.
Spend your day biking down one of the most scenic trails in all of Slovene Istria. This Koper tour offers a glimpse into the area's unspoiled landscapes far from city life. Join us today on a bike ride you won't soon forget. The biking trail on this tour was once home to the famous Parenzana Railroad. At one point during its operation, this railway connected over 30 different towns from Italy all the way to Croatia. Today, the trail is used mainly for recreational purposes, such as biking. The railway route features eight tunnels, two of which you'll get to explore on this Koper biking tour; one tunnel connects the towns of Izola and Strunjan, while the other connects Strunjan and Portoroz and Caro. Your tour starts in Koper, where you and your group will meet and then proceed to the charming fishing town of Izola. While here, you'll listen to your guide share historical anecdotes, while you check out curious attractions like a salt evaporation pond. Along the way, you'll also ride past olive plantations, vineyards, valleys and other noteworthy sights. A final stop for wine and food will help you recharge before the Koper sightseeing tour comes to an end. Make your reservation today for this fun biking expedition.
