From the centre of Kaštelir, we will cycle through the deep forest shade towards Vižinada where at 10:15AM we will join our fellow cyclists. We will continue together along the attractive Parenzana cycling trail towards Poreč and then turn towards the famous Tićan bservatory led by Korado Korlević, one of the most renown world astronomers. This observatory is also the highest peak of our route. Following the narrow forest trails, we will descend to Višnjan, and then back to Kaštelir where we will leave the first group of cyclists. Those who joined us in Vižinada, continue the ride through the forest for about 45 minutes before reaching our final destination.
