Turn left here and continue to the roundabout where you turn right (be careful of the traffic!). Continue straight on as far as the exit for Kopar, where you turn right, and then right again in the direction of Kremenje.
Ride straight through the villages of Kremenje, Marušići and Donja Gomila, and when you reach Šterna, turn left up the hill towards Čepić. In Čepić, at 14 km, turn right where the road diverges. Then, at 14.7 km, at the next fork, continue to the left on the unpaved road until you reach the asphalted road at 15.9 km. Turn right here, and, after the village of Hrastići, turn right again in the direction of Oprtalj. In Sv. Lucija, at the STOP sign, turn left for Oprtalj, which you will reach at 19.8 km.
From Oprtalj, take the road to Sv. Lucija, keeping straight as far as Šterna, where you turn left towards Grožnjan. At 26.6 km turn left towards Završje, and in the village of Mlin, at 28.7 km, turn right towards Grožnjan.
