The Istrian interior is the thematic guide of a cycling trail that starts and ends in Rovinj, at Valdibora parking. From the western part of the Istrian peninsula the route leads to the heart of Istria itself and, amongst a number of places, it also passes through Vižinada, Ponte Porton and the magical town of Motovun, which is reached from a picturesque uphill slope. The second part of this 137 kilometre long trail passes through Karojba, Tinjan and Sveti Petar u Šumi, and then through Kanfanar and Bale. Cycling trail no. 211 contains a number of captivating sites where you can enjoy fascinating views or perhaps take a break tasting the refreshments in the Istrian taverns. From their appearance, some of these will remind you of days gone by, and each of them offers you the chance to taste the specialities of traditional local cuisine.
