Cycling day trip from Rovinj to Vodnjan

Start your cycling adventure in the stunning coastal town of Rovinj, known for its charming cobblestone streets, vibrant artsy vibe, and stunning views of the Adriatic Sea. As you pedal away from the sea, be sure to take a moment to soak in the view of Rovinj's iconic orange-roofed townscape and its stunning Baroque steeple before heading inland.

Your route will be a delightful blend of terrains, so get ready to enjoy everything from quiet roads to tracks with views of the idyllic Istrian countryside. A good chunk of it is asphalt, but you’ll definitely have a little taste of adventure navigating the gravel and the unpaved sections, adding a rustic flair to your journey.

Along the way, you’ll experience a gentle ascent and descent, rolling past olive groves and vineyards as you make your way towards Vodnjan. Known for its olive oil and the fascinating church of St. Blaise, housing the mummified bodies of saints, Vodnjan is your perfect destination to wrap up the ride.

This ride is all about embracing the charm of rural Istria without straying too far from paved roads, making it a wonderfully balanced route for a leisurely yet mildly challenging day on two wheels. Happy cycling!
