Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Umag à Seča

Set off from Umag, a charming coastal town in Croatia known for its Venetian architecture and laid-back harbor vibes, and head north towards Seča in Slovenia. This 21 km ride takes you through a mix of terrains—expect quiet roads and scenic tracks, with some stretches of gravel and unpaved paths. You’ll climb just over 229 meters in total, with mellow ascents and descents making it interesting but not too demanding.

On the way, enjoy views of rolling Istrian countryside, vineyards, and olive groves. Pack some water—it gets rural in spots and amenities are sparse. As you cross into Slovenia, the route brings you close to the famous Sečovlje Salt Pans, near Seča, where you might spot herons and flamingos if you linger a while.

The ride wraps up in Seča, a quiet village best known for its proximity to the nature park and relaxed Adriatic atmosphere. It’s a scenic and moderately challenging route—a great way to experience local landscapes and two countries in a day!
