UK to Croatia - Summer 2025

Motorcycling Rideouts & Touring

I mentioned a potential group trip from the UK to Croatia recently. It seems likely to be happening now.

Initial proposal is to take the Hull-Rotterdam ferry on the 30th August then pick up a sleeper train at Dusseldorff, disembarking the next day at Villach. From there, ride over to Slovenia, then on to Croatia and across to Italy on the ferry. Up to the Dolomites and…well I did say it was an initial plan. :slight_smile: Overall it’s a two week trip.

This isn’t my gig, it’s been proposed and led by the head of the Ducati Dragons. It’s not a guided holiday and neither is it Dragons only. Travellers will be fully independent but happy to meet up for coffee lunch dinner etc. It’s optional to stay in the same hotels or camp. I think that’s a sensible approach, personally.

This is an open tour so if anyone from the forum is interested let me know and you’re welcome to get involved.

Next up: planning session in Feb.

I never knew such a thing existed! Cuts 4 days off a trip to that area and opens up possibilities :smiley:

There’s a few left now. We used to be able to depart from Den Bosch, in our South. I did that one year travelling to Italy, disembarking just North of Genua. Brilliant.

Sounds like a fantastic idea/trip.

I’ll keep posting updates and routes before and, hopefully, during. If anyone wants to join part of all of the trip, or just meet up for a beer if we’re passing close enough by, let me know.
