Cycling day trip from Pula to Rabac

Start your cycling adventure in the charming coastal city of Pula, known for its stunning Roman architecture, including the well-preserved Pula Arena. This journey to Rabac offers a chance to weave through Istria's diverse landscapes over a distance of roughly 72 kilometers.

As you leave Pula behind, get ready for a mix of surfaces under your wheels – mostly quiet roads that promise a peaceful ride with occasional tracks sprinkled in. You’ll tackle some hills, with the route gaining around 869 meters in elevation, but nothing too extreme. Plus, there's nearly as much descent, so you'll enjoy some nice downhill sections too.

Pedal through scenic paths, where the terrain switches from asphalt to gravel and ground, letting you enjoy nature's embrace. As you cruise along, you might encounter a few busier roads, but they make up only a small fraction of the journey.

When you finally roll into Rabac, you're greeted by its beautiful bays and clear Adriatic waters. Rabac may be small, but its charm is undeniable, making it a delightful spot to unwind after the ride. Take a deep breath, soak in the picturesque views, and perhaps treat yourself to some well-deserved gelato!
