Parenzana Trail
Parenzana
A cross-border cycle path converted from an old narrow-gauge railway. Its Slovenian section passes through tunnels, viaducts, and vineyards and links the seaside towns.
The Parenzana Railway opened in 1902, linking Trieste with Poreč in Croatia. It closed in 1935, and today it has been converted into the roughly 123 km "Route of Health and Friendship," with about 30 km in Slovenia. The most popular section runs from Izola through Portorož to Sečovlje. It passes several old railway tunnels and is easy to ride. Bikes can be rented in each town. The coordinates given point to the Parenzana Museum in Izola.
