Course Description

The start takes place in the beautiful Istrian village of Korte, which is also the highest point of both the 17 km and 35 km trails. After approximately 50 meters, turn sharply left and continue along a scenic forest path all the way to the entrance of Cetore village. There, turn immediately left, climb up to the road, cross it, and continue towards Malija.

The route passes by the Malija Stadium, followed by a descent on an asphalt road, where you turn right onto a steep forest trail leading towards Jagodje. When you reach the main road, continue straight for about 300 meters, then turn left onto a new, steep climb towards Mala Seva (Malija). At the top, turn right and continue along a gravel road offering stunning views.

Next comes a sharp descent to the right towards Strunjan, passing through a tunnel, then left along the sidewalk towards Strunjan Beach. After crossing the bridge, you reach the refreshment station, then continue past the tennis courts and begin the climb up the cliff.

The trail follows a breathtaking path through the protected area of the Strunjan Nature Park, accompanied by magnificent coastal views. A short climb leads you to Belvedere, where you can still enjoy the panoramic scenery, before the final descent to the finish line at San Simon Beach in Izola.

The course runs mostly along trail paths (83% – gravel and forest tracks), with the remaining 17% on asphalt.
