MTB Istria Adventure

From the towering mountain of Ucka, to calm waters of Lim Bay channel, we will immerse you into Terra Magica.

From fog-covered valleys, our journey will take us to the famous hilltop cities of Motovun, Grožnjan and Hum, ending the day in Livade, the centre of truffle hunting in Istria. Terrain will be ondulating almost 70 % of this tour. So each climb will be rewarded with the views of the surrounding area, providing intro what is waiting for us next.

Truffle hunting in Istria is something not to be missed. Atmosphere when hunting dog is searching for the black gold in the from of black truffle is for sure and intence experience. As the dogs are very succesful in this game, we will for sure not leave empty handed. Be preparred to dig with little showels as there will be no free truffles for the breakfast next morning.

A plentiful breakfast will mark the start of each day, usually coupled with traditional “fritaja” sprinkled with freshly grated truffles. Goat cheese is another delicacy in Istria, and we will try different agro tourism producers during the trip.

Rocky trails of Kamenjak will for sure gift you with white knuckles, which will make your hands look like one of those gladiators that fought for their barren life in Pula’s amphitheatre. And this structure is something really magical, only fully preserved 4 story high amphitheatre in the world. Singletrack on Ucka is the hardest part of this tour, but the extra effort of riding the ridgeline will be rewarded with views getting all the way to Italy. Tired legs will be coupled with tired arms as we will start a long descent to coastal town of Rabac

Our last day will be spent tasting all track varieties offered by Bike Park Rabac, as well as tasting all the seafood delicacies found in Lim Bay. Bike park Rabac will be a fareawell last leg of the trip, focused on having fun and hanging out boosting the experience coupled with great food, wine and of course people.
