The northern route (40 km) leads us from the office of TB Funtana towards the interior of Istria. Riding on wide white roads, we pass through small, very attractive Istrian places. St. Bečić, Valkarin, Žbandaj, Filipini and Veleniki are only few of the interesting attractions. On the north of Poreč we descend towards the sea. Short break in one of the Poreč cafes. Afterwards very attractive and easy drive along the sea back to Funtana. We partially ride on the popular PARENZANA bike trail. The first part of the tour is mostly through nature, olive groves, forests and vineyards. Some parts are a bit narrower and it is possible to encounter branches or high grass. The second part of the tour is easy, asphalted and with beautiful views of Istrian coves.
