Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Postojna à Trieste

Get ready for a real adventure as you pedal from the Slovenian town of Postojna to the Italian city of Trieste! Starting in Postojna—famous for its jaw-dropping caves and friendly small-town vibe—you’ll head south through rolling greenery and forests. The route isn’t a walk in the park: over 71 km, you’ll tackle a solid mix of ascents (about 1,475 m up and even more down!) and experience a changing patchwork of surfaces, including gravel, tracks, and quiet roads.

Along the way, expect peaceful woodland stretches, some bumpy gravel sections, and country tracks—perfect for riders who like a bit of everything. The ride’s climax is the sweeping descent towards Trieste, offering epic views of the Adriatic Sea as you approach this vibrant, historic port city. Don’t forget to stop for a gelato at the end—Trieste is renowned for its cosmopolitan culture and seaside charm. This trip is a true border-crossing journey, blending natural beauty, two distinct cultures, and a good dose of cycling fun!
