The project achieves this by improving access to attractions along these routes through upgraded cycling infrastructure and by promoting the D7 and FVG3 routes. Best practices in cycling tourism development from Eastern Veneto are being transferred to new areas: the Brkini region (D7) and the valleys of the Ter and Nadi\u017ea (Natisone) rivers (FVG3). Three new multimodal bike transport connections have been established: two boat lines in Eastern Veneto and one road connection between the D7 and FVG3 routes. Best practices for public transport planning are also being transferred to the Coastal-Karst region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key Project Results:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the Municipality of Ilirska Bistrica, new e-bikes for rental were purchased and new charging stations were installed.

It enhances inland waterways and cycle paths, and promotes social inclusion and intergenerational exchange. The project aims to develop new tourist itineraries and improve existing ones in the Friuli Riviera Community and the Vipava Valley by integrating cycle paths and waterways in the Marano lagoon, as well as intermodal connections in the Vipacco Valley. Activities include mapping and analysing routes, trialling intermodal &#8216;Bike+Boat&#8217; and &#8216;Bike+Bus&#8217; services, engaging older people in collecting local memories and stories, and creating multimedia materials based on this content with the help of young people.
