Cycling Istria & The Parenzana Trail🇭🇷🇸🇮🇮🇹
Istria, the north part of Croatia, completely stunned us with its lush green scenery. Very different from what we’ve seen before.
We took a few days of rest there in a small sleepy village, longing for some peace and quiet.
After that we continued our journey further towards the Slovenian border, following the Parenzana trail - an old railroad track turned into a gravel path. Gently rolling through the landscape we could see lots of beautiful old villages on top of the hills.
The air was heavy as we drove into Slovenia, our first border crossing without checkpoint. We rode next to the seaside for a while and before we knew it where in Trieste - Italy, which marks the half point of our journey!

Bikepackin’ & Island-hoppin’ in Croatia🇭🇷
zhlédnutí 817Před dnem
Cycling in Croatia isn’t easy! The coastal roads are busy with cars and trucks, the smaller roads are often quite steep, rocky and unpredictable. Summertime is here and this means that the is sun getting hotter by the minute, luckily we’re able to stop often for a quick and refreshing dive in the sea. To avoid the traffic we take ferries to the Croatian islands, such as Hvar, Ugljan and Mali Lo...
The Ćiro Trail & cycling in Bosnia & Herzegovina🇧🇦
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 21 dnem
In this video we ride our bikes from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Mostar in Bosnia & Herzegovina via the Ćiro trail, a disused railroad through the mountains which has been turned into a bicycle route. Because this trail follows the old train road it’s fairly flat, and quite enjoyable to ride after all the altitude of past and upcoming weeks. Some parts of the trail are easy going tarmac, other parts ...

We rode out of Tirana towards the city of Shköder and the border with Montenegro. Little did we know how many mountains we had to climb. Lake Shköder on the right side, the vivid sunrays lighting our path we cycled further into the valleys and over the hills.

zhlédnutí 352Před měsícem
Here we are continuing our journey in Greece. We take the ferry and explore Samothraki, an island full of life. An intense color palette, sleepy villages and steep rocky cliffs. A wonderful, quiet place that gave us some rest from riding our bikes. Cycling in Greece definitely took us by surprise, in a lot of good ways. We’re living in the moment and enjoying every bit of sea we see. Support us...

'Always choose adventure out of tarmac' 🤣 Serieus straffe kost van jullie 2! Ik lach me een 🍒 met jouw grappen, Lenah 🥰
Dank je Anja!😚 We doen ons best om voor ‘top-notch’ entertainment te zorgen🤣
Fantastic video! Were you able to avoid busy roads and traffic in the end? The shots of bigger roads you were on looked pretty quiet.
Thank you!🙏🏻 Except for some parts we did avoid riding busy roads. It did take some juggling with our route and zigzagging between inland, coast and islands, but we’re happy with our choices in the end. So some of those quiet bigger roads you see in the video were either inland or on the islands!
hahaha vau vau & pipi .. ik wil ook haha
We zullen cadeautjes meenemen🤪
Ja, wel niet altijd de makkelijkste weg gekozen maar wel de mooiste😮 En echte snoepers geworden😂 maar je fietst het er wel af😛
