Santuario di Monrupino e riserva del monte Orsario da Aurisina/Nabrežina

Cycling on this MTB trail is like turning the pages of a book of stone and wind. The first strokes of the pedal take you among the ancient cisterns of Rupinpiccolo, silent guardians of a time when every drop of water was precious. The path then rises, and suddenly the towers of Monrupino appear, natural sentinels dominating the Karst with their grandeur. The fatigue vanishes when the Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Monrupino appears before you, perched on the hill, a place where history and spirituality merge in a panorama that seems timeless.

But the best is yet to come: the single tracks of Monte Orsario wind you through forests, clearings and sudden glimpses, where nature has the upper hand and the wheel dances between roots and stones. Every turn is an invitation to push a little harder, to feel the adrenaline build, to enjoy the Karst as only those who pedal can.
