Gita in bici di un giorno da Umago a Lucia

This ride takes you from the charming Croatian coastal town of Umag to Lucija, a lively Slovenian spot just past the border. Spanning about 23 km, the route blends scenic coastline with lush inland stretches and some gentle rolling hills—expect roughly 180 meters of ascent and descent, but nothing too tough.

Along the way, you’ll pedal on a mix of surfaces—mostly paved and asphalt, but with a good chunk of gravel and unpaved paths. The route keeps things interesting: you’ll cruise quiet roads, roll along tracks, and find stretches of dedicated cycleway, with only a minimal brush with busy roads. Keep an eye out for a few “missing” surface bits, which might be compacted earth or gravel that aren’t strictly paved.

Umag, known for its pretty old town and crystal-clear Adriatic waters, is a laid-back start. In Lucija, you’ll finish near Portorož, the famous Slovenian riviera town, perfect for a post-ride gelato or seaside stroll. Don’t forget your passport: you’ll cross the Croatia–Slovenia border!
