Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Cres à Rabac

Get ready for a truly adventurous ride! This route kicks off in the charming town of Cres, nestled on the rugged island of the same name. Famous for its Venetian architecture and serene harbor, Cres is the perfect place to fuel up on local seafood before you hit the trail. The ride to Rabac is just over 53 km, but don't let the distance fool you—the real challenge here is the dramatic elevation, with over 1700 meters of ascent and descent!

You’ll roll over a mix of surfaces, from rough gravel and unpaved tracks (about half the time) to sections of smooth asphalt and quiet backroads. Expect a few heart-thumping climbs, some big views from up to 500 meters high, and plenty of opportunities for nature spotting along the less-traveled paths.

The journey wraps up in Rabac, a vibrant little seaside resort on the Istrian coast, loved for its pebble beaches and clear turquoise waters. It’s the perfect spot to cool off and celebrate a ride well done. Don’t forget to pack enough water, your sense of adventure, and maybe a swimsuit for the finish!
