Parenzana Cycle Route – Portorož Section

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Hello, at the Parenzana bike path you should differentiate urgently: The first piece of Trieste through Slovenia seems to be suitable for normal touring bikes. In contrast, the bike path is in Istria, I drove part of it. For e-bikes and touring bikes it is - at least for longer distances - completely unsuitable. With the MTB it is no problem!

Valeta Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Best way to get halfway flat from Portorož to Strunjan. 550 m long, well lit and it only stinks when a moped is cracking.

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Between Kober and Piran is a fantastic bike path created, which also leads along a disused railway line with several tunnels. Beware here are also pedestrians and moped riders on the way.

Valeta Tunnel (Parenzana Cycle Path)

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

The Parenzana cycle path almost always runs exactly along the Mediterranean on the former route of the narrow-gauge railway. Occasionally there are side trips into the hinterland with quite steep inclines. It is excellently developed, especially by the sea. Take time for the beautiful old towns and views!

The Sečovlje Salt Pans (Slovenian Sečoveljske soline, Italian Saline di Sicciole, formerly Piran Salt Pans, Slovenian Piranske soline, Italian Saline di Pirano) are a nature park with an area of 6.5 km² near the town of Seča in the municipality Piran, Slovenia. They are located in the Bay of Piran right on the border with Croatia. The nature park is bounded on the north by the St. Bartholomew Canal and on the south by the Dragonja River. The northern part of the salt pans is called Lera, the southern Fortanigge.
