Today, Parenzana is the most famous and most visited cycling and hiking trail in Istria. Due to rough terrain in some places, the trail is suitable for mountain bikes, but not for road and trekking bikes. Parenzana has 9 tunnels, 11 bridges and 6 viaducts with many scenic lookouts. This application was published by the Region of Istria and IT specialist and recreational cyclist Tomo Krajina.
