Cycling day trip from Divača to Trieste

If you’re up for a bit of adventure, this ride from Divača to Trieste is for you! Setting off from Divača, a gateway to the famous Škocjan Caves and the Karst plateau, you’ll roll nearly 38 km across a mix of surfaces—expect a fair share of unpaved and gravel tracks, which keep things interesting and scenic. The route rises steadily at first (over 600 meters up!), but don’t worry: you’ll enjoy a much bigger descent, dropping almost 1,000 meters as you make your way towards the sea.

You’ll cruise along quiet tracks and cycleways through picturesque Slovenian countryside before descending towards Trieste, Italy’s historic port city on the Adriatic. Along the way, take in sweeping views, karst landscapes, and that feeling of crossing a borderline on two wheels.

The approach into Trieste is a treat, with its grand old architecture and lively piazzas waiting at the finish. Perfect for riders who love a blend of gravel adventure and cultural sights!
