Croatia Motorcycle Tour with Plitvice Lakes

This Croatia motorcycle tour starts with the joint ride to Bad Reichenhall, from where the group takes small roads through Austria to Lake Ossiach. Crossing the Radstädter Tauern Pass and the Passo di Predil, the route continues through Slovenia and finally to the base hotel in Crikvenica, Croatia. From there, the day trips begin: into the mountainous hinterland around the Kapela Mountains, island hopping on Cres, and on to Istria with its historic amphitheater in Pula. This guided Istria motorcycle tour also leads to Plitvice Lakes, before the return journey through Slovenia and Austria begins.

Highlights

Island Hopping on Cres

Take the ferry to the island of Cres, riding it down to its southern tip. The return crossing runs via the Porozina–Brestova ferry back to the mainland – a day dedicated entirely to Croatian island hopping.

Discover Plitvice Lakes

Plitvička Jezera National Park lies in the mountains and delivers a winding riding day. Part of the return route follows the famous coastal road along the Mediterranean before heading back to the base hotel.

Amphitheater in Pula

In Pula we visit the historic Roman amphitheater before continuing on to Poreč, where we stroll through the old town on foot. The ride back to the base hotel winds through the towns of Pazin and Opatija.

Kapela Mountain Stage

The route heads into the hinterland around the Kapela Mountains, following small roads through forests and sleepy villages. A varied day full of cornering fun away from the main highways.

Alpine Passes En Route

On the way to the base hotel, the route crosses the Radstädter Tauern Pass and the Passo di Predil through Austria and Slovenia – scenically and riding-wise one of the finest stages of the whole trip.
