Gita in bici di un giorno da Divaccia a Capodistria

This is an awesome point-to-point ride from Divača to Koper, spanning just over 53 km across the varied terrain of Slovenia’s Karst region down to the Adriatic coast. You’ll begin in Divača, a small but scenic town known as a gateway to the Škocjan Caves—a UNESCO World Heritage site—so if you haven’t checked those out yet, worth a visit!

The route features a healthy mix of surfaces, with about 40% paved or asphalt and the rest split between gravel and unpaved tracks—so wider tires are a good call. Expect some real ups and downs: you’ll climb over 750 meters, but the nearly 1200 meters of descent will have you coasting toward the sea as you approach Koper.

Once you reach Koper, you’ll find yourself in a lively coastal city with a rich Venetian history and sparkling Mediterranean views—perfect for a post-ride gelato by the marina. All in all, this is a great ride to experience both Slovenia’s rugged inland and its beautiful coast. Enjoy the journey!
