171THE MAGICAL ARCHIPELAGO

Itinerary description:

Although exceptionally short (18.3 km), the Magical Archipelago trail is particularly interesting. The section that begins and ends at the bus station in Vrsar passes by Kapetanova Stancija, Finida and Funtane and offers a lot of sites that are certainly recommended to visit. 

Along the first part of the trail there is the Old Castle and then you reach Vrsar sports airport. The ride continues to the forest of Kontija. The trail leads further to the Pirate’s Cave and you can rest at the monastery of St. Michael, located at the edge of the Kontija forest. 
It is worth stopping near the Magical Archipelago trail, at the Kontija forest vegetation reserve and the Mukaba viewpoint because you will have a chance to experience one of the most stunning views of the Lim Bay.

Technical Specifications:

Short and easy. This is how the Magical Archipelago trail can be described, which is mainly ridden on macadam with shorter sections of dirt or asphalted road. However, the macadam part is not challenging as it is covered with small or medium sized stones, with no sharp edges, so the level of sliding is also negligible. Mountain bikes are recommended, but the trail can be passed by trekking bikes as well as electric ones. The altitude difference is 150 meters only and there are no significant up and downhill slopes.
