Oprtalj

The bike trail From Spring to Spring passes through a hilly area of western Istria uncovering the wealth of its natural beauty, autochthonous Istrian villages and cultural heritage best explored on a bicycle.
The area through which the trail passes is one of the most attractive biking areas in Istria. The river Mirna with its many tributaries, picturesque streams and springs runs through this area. One such spring, walled in and decorated for passengers and holidaymakers, is located in the little village Šterna and is an ideal place for a quick break and resting from the ride. The next point on the route is the small town of Oprtalj, the most attractive stop of this bicycle route, a medieval regional centre known for its many cultural and historic sites. Sightseeing is followed by a pleasant rural path ride and the return to the starting point of the bike trail, the small place town of Zrenj.
