Po istarskim vrhovima

Through the rugged heart of Istria’s peninsula, this demanding loop challenges cyclists with a relentless mix of steep climbs and technical terrain. The ride begins with a steep paved ascent before shifting onto unpaved trails, where a steady 500-meter push sets the tone. Early on, a brief 60-meter climb is followed by a sharp, 250-meter descent—demanding focus—before another tough 400-meter climb demands effort. Midway, rolling unpaved stretches ease the pace, though a later 50-meter climb and a 100-meter paved push near Podgace add variety. The final stretch winds through quiet, paved roads, ending with a smooth descent toward Lupoglav. With 45% paved roads in good condition and 55% rugged trails, this route tests endurance and skill in a pristine natural setting.
