Čičarija is a hilly and barren karst landscape that stretches from Kozina and Slavnik in Slovenia all the way to Rijeka and Učka in Croatia. The area is very sparsely populated, there are no larger settlements, residents called Čiči have long sought employment in other places, from Koper and Trieste to Rijeka and Pula, then mostly relocated there too. Higher elevations are full of karst sinkholes and dolines, partially covered with deciduous trees (oak, black and white hornbeam, beech, hazel), above 700 m vast grassy areas prevail, yet you will rarely meet livestock or sheep on hiking trails. The central and highest part of the landscape is the Slavnik range, stretching in Dinaric direction. From Slavnik in the north (1028m) to Orljak in Croatia (1106m), there are quite a few hills around 1000 m, between them numerous hiking and recently also cycling paths wind.
Since every active cycling recreationalist has probably been to Slavnik or Učka sometime, … so maybe this time an idea for a circular tour over less known Čičarija hills like Žbevnica above village Brest and Kavčič, Lipnik, Golič, Kojnik above Ratitovec, which we start and end in Podgorje. Suitable for very fit mountain bikers or e-bikes, loop is cca 45-50 km. And since it crosses the state border, don't forget to take your ID card.
