Bikepacking from Trieste to Pula

Hop on your bike and get ready for an epic ride from Trieste to Pula! Starting in Trieste, a picturesque city perched on the northeastern corner of Italy, you're in for a treat with its mix of historic architecture and stunning Adriatic coastline views. As you pedal away, you'll traverse approximately 176 kilometers through a variety of terrains – expect a bit of everything from asphalt and gravel to a few ground surfaces here and there.

You'll ascend and descend through some pretty hilly spots, climbing about 3580 meters in total, but don’t worry, the downhill sections offer some relief! Keep an eye out as you cycle; about half the route winds through tracks, adding to the adventure vibe. There’s a good balance too, with quiet roads making up about 35% of the journey.

As you approach Pula, let the excitement build. This vibrant Croatian city is known for its well-preserved Roman ruins, including the awe-inspiring Pula Arena. Reward yourself with a taste of local cuisine or a dip in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.

Pack your energy snacks, charge your camera, and enjoy the ride!
