Vineyards sweeping to the Adriatic, fishing villages, red tile roofs and fertile valleys compose a landscape rich in contrast and color. Visitors marvel at vestiges of Roman settlements, delight in Croatia’s culinary capital of Novigrad, plunge into the embracing sea and work up appetites for al fresco dining in ancient courtyards, Guests may cycle up to 34 miles a day.

Castles abound as do Roman ruins on a bike trail known as Romerweg, part of an archaeological park regarded as one of the most significant archaeological sites in Austria. This trail meanders along Europe’s most famous river, the Danube. One day brings visitors to a town known internationally as a hub for breeding racehorses. There’s a spa here too.
