The best running trails in Obalno-kraška

I quote from: https://lopadistory.com/2023/05/21/der-mann-ohne-herz/ Stojan Batič's sculpture "Man Without a Heart" is often seen as a critical examination of the overemphasis on rational and logical thought processes and the neglect of emotions in our society. The man without a heart can be seen as a metaphor for a person who has suppressed their human feelings and emotions in order to focus on their reason and intellect. The sculpture is meant to remind us how important it is to find a balance between reason and emotion in order to be happy and fulfilled.

At the end of the 13th century, this square became Piran's central square, and the town square acquired its current appearance in the second half of the 19th century. The central Tartini Square was created by filling in the inner harbor, and impressive buildings with historical features were built around the town square, such as the town hall and the courthouse. Naturally, the town square was named after the composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini, who helped make his birthplace known worldwide.

Piran is located on the westernmost point of the Adriatic coast and is considered Slovenia's most beautiful coastal town. Its surrounding walls date back to the Middle Ages. Inside, you can stroll through narrow streets lined with narrow Venetian-style houses. Particularly worth seeing are the red Venetian House on Tartini Square and the snow-white Town Hall. If you have time, you can also visit the salt pans outside the city gates, some of which are still in operation. The salt production facilities date back to 804. Or you can explore Piran's cliffs along the coastal hiking trail in the north. Piran is considered Slovenia's most beautiful coastal town. The picturesque medieval town, which is entirely protected as a cultural and historical monument, borders two landscape parks. In one of them, you can marvel at the highest cliff in the Adriatic, among other things.

In Piran, the port is located in the city center. The border crossing is at the end of the longest pier, near the red lighthouse. Since Piran is an old town, cars are not welcome. We recommend that all our guests leave their vehicles in one of the garages and then take a free bus to the port or walk.

Picture-perfect harbor with flair & sea views Piran's harbor is small, charming, and lively – with fishing boats, ice cream stands, and views of the Venetian-influenced architecture all around. Perfect for a coffee with a view. Tip: The colors are at their most beautiful in the evening, and the waterfront restaurants are less crowded. What's especially nice is the reflection of the small boats in the calm water – great photo opportunities!
