Gita in bici di un giorno da Lucia a Umago

Set off from sunny Lucija, a lively marina town close to Slovenia’s charming coast, and pedal south towards the Croatian treasure of Umag—a seaside spot famous for its old town streets and tasty local seafood. This ride is just under 22 km, so it’s perfect for a leisurely half-day outing, with gentle ascents and descents that give you nice glimpses of the Istrian countryside.

Most of the route is paved or asphalt, though you’ll bounce over some gravel stretches and tranquil tracks too. You’ll mostly be rolling along quiet back roads and country lanes, with occasional sections on cycleways and easygoing paths—traffic is minimal, so it’s a relaxing route to soak in the scenery.

Once you arrive in Umag, reward yourself with a stroll through its medieval core or a dip in the Adriatic. Don’t forget to sample local truffles or fresh fish before heading back!
