This path is only passable with strong mountain bike tires, gravel, stones, gullies and neat uphill and downhill. Hardly feasible with normal tires or only for pushing!

Piran is a very beautiful little Mediterranean town, with a car-free old town center. The many alleys and shops invite you to stroll and linger. Fish, of course, is a must. There are also swimming opportunities.
