Kvarner route
Since 2018
Saturday’s disembarkation or embarkation in Rijeka will allow us to explore the largest Adriatic islands, Krk and Cres, as well as the adjacent coastline of the Istrian Peninsula with the Učka mountain nature park. This already diverse journey will be further enriched by an „oceanic“ voyage among the smaller islands between Northern Dalmatia and the Kvarner Gulf. We will experience the moon-like, rugged landscape and, in contrast, the original dense vegetation of ancient forests, pristine coves, and lively island harbors. Another facet of the landscape and settlements, with an Italian spirit, will complete your kaleidoscope of the entire Adriatic.
Cycling
Especially bikers will have many diverse and challenging trails to choose from, often following the tracks of the famous 4 ISLANDS MTB stage race. Those who wish can also explore and improvise more than on other „well-established and traveled“ routes. | 6 cycling days.
