Dat is niet vreemd: je fietst er langs een van de mooiste kusten van Europa, door heuvelland vol wijngaarden en olijfbomen, en over eilanden die je met de veerboot aan elkaar knoopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waar fiets je in Kroati\u00eb?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Istri\u00eb: glooiend binnenland, bergdorpjes en goed bewegwijzerde routes, ook voor gravel.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Kvarner: de baai van Rijeka, met Opatija en de eilanden Krk, Cres en Lo\u0161inj.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Dalmati\u00eb: de kust tussen Zadar, Split en Dubrovnik, en de eilanden daarvoor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gravel in Istri\u00eb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voor gravelrijders is Istri\u00eb de interessantste regio van Kroati\u00eb: veel onverharde witte wegen door het heuvelachtige binnenland. In het voorjaar is er het gravelfestival NOVA Eroica Istria in Novigrad, met routes van 60, 100 en 150 kilometer. Meer daarover op de pagina over Istri\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Bron: Istria Tourist Board, persbericht over NOVA Eroica Istria (2026).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regio&#8217;s voor fietsers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kroati\u00eb is bij veel Nederlanders bekend van de kust, maar het binnenland en de eilanden zijn een verrassend goede fietsbestemming. In het voorjaar en najaar is het er aangenaam warm en rustig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Istria<\/strong>: heuvels met middeleeuwse dorpen, wijngaarden en witte onverharde wegen. De Parenzana volgt een oud spoortrac\u00e9 van Tri\u00ebst naar Pore\u010d en is ideaal voor gravel.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Kvarner<\/strong>: de eilanden Krk, Cres en Lo\u0161inj, met rustige wegen en steeds uitzicht op zee.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Velebit en de Dinarische Alpen<\/strong>: ruige bergen achter de kust. De Trans Dinarica loopt hier in 9 etappes (514 km) door het Velebit-natuurpark en onder de berg Dinara door.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Dalmati\u00eb<\/strong>: de eilanden Bra\u010d en Hvar en het achterland van Split, met korte, steile klimmen en uitzicht op de Adriatische Zee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meer over het gravelfestival NOVA Eroica lees je op de pagina over Istri\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Season<\/strong>: in juli en augustus is het aan de kust heet en druk met verkeer. Kom in het voorjaar of in september en oktober.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Eilandhoppen<\/strong>: veerboten van Jadrolinija verbinden de eilanden met het vasteland. Fietsen kunnen mee; in het hoogseizoen kun je het best vroeg zijn.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Wind<\/strong>: de bora, een koude, harde noordenwind, kan in de Kvarner en langs het Velebit flink waaien. Houd het weerbericht in de gaten.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Geld<\/strong>: Kroati\u00eb gebruikt sinds 2023 de euro.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lees ook onze verhalen over <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/croatia\/cycling-in-croatia-discover-the-islands-of-hvar-and-brac\/\">Hvar en Bra\u010d<\/a> en <a href=\"\/en\/stories\/cycling-in-croatia\/\">Istria<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Racefiets of gravel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Met de racefiets zijn de eilanden en de kustweg prachtig, maar in de zomer druk. De klimmen van het Velebit, zoals de weg van Karlobag naar Ba\u0161ke O\u0161tarije, en de heuvels van Istri\u00eb zijn rustiger. Voor gravel is Istri\u00eb de beste keuze, met zijn witte wegen en de Parenzana over het oude spoortrac\u00e9. Wie een week wil bikepacken, rijdt een deel van de Trans Dinarica door het binnenland, langs het Velebit en de Plitvicemeren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When are you leaving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">April tot en met juni en september tot en met oktober. In juli en augustus is het heet en druk aan de kust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you get there?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vliegen naar Pula, Rijeka, Split of Zagreb, of met de auto in dertien tot vijftien uur.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Istri\u00eb, Kvarner en de Dalmatische kust: een van de snelst groeiende fietslanden van Europa.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11515,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"thema":[],"gebergte":[],"uitgelicht":[868],"class_list":["post-27880","bestemming","type-bestemming","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
