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 • Cycleway

In Piran, the port is located in the center of the city. The border crossing is at the end of the longest pier by the red lighthouse. Here you can see new and old ships lying next to each other and you can also see the accessories such as fishing nets, which makes it all the more authentic.
Several panels are attached to the green lighthouse. That you are in the EU and in the Republic of Slovenia, as well as in Piran. According to the fact that Slovenia only has 46 KM of coast and is right next to the border, it can help one or the other leisure captain 😉😜

September 19, 2022,Kanegra-Piran Runde mit Tunnel

Very nice varied tour from Camping Kanegra over the salt flats and through the old railway tunnel to Piran. Unfortunately, the western tip of the city was completely closed: Halle Berry is shooting her latest film there from September 19th. to 10/4/22. Hollywood quickly "bought" this part of town and closed everything there during filming 😅😔.
Then back via Portoroz. …

It had been planned for a while, and today it worked out: I headed out of Umag on easy paths towards "Parenzana." This is the old narrow-gauge railway line that ran from 1900-1935 from Poreč 🇭🇷 over 123km to Trieste 🇮🇹. Today it is a popular 🚴‍♂️path. The gravel paths led down towards the border crossing. Continuing on the Slovenian …

On a beautiful section of the disused Parenzana narrow-gauge railway line, which runs from Trieste 🇮🇹 to Poreč 🇭🇷, today we went over to Piran 🇸🇮, which is supposed to be a pretty little town. That's it, but... there was "still" a hustle and bustle there, as if we were in August (how could that be in the "real" midsummer?! …

After starting at our apartment, we first went a bit along the country road and then on a side road, which in Istria is synonymous with rough gravel track, until we reached the Parenzana route.
The former railway line had a slightly better gravel surface and a consistent gradient. Crossing the border within the EU was no problem. In Slovenia, …
