Holiday apartment in Lucija – K13, Parenzana and salt pans

Lucija combines a challenging cycling tour with an unusually specific destination point. The “Čez Istro za zahtevne (K13)” tour is 83 km long and starts and ends in Lucija. The Lucija pump track is located nearby, a naturally shaped pump track made of earth and gravel covering an area of 1,757 m². This means that Lucija is home to both a long cycling tour and a clearly defined facility with its own size and characteristics.

Cycling

For the K13 cycling tour, there is a gravel car park in front of the marina in Lucija. Another notable route is called the Parenzana and continues via the Sečovlje salt pans to Lucija. The Parenzana is also known as Porečanka and operated from 1902 to 1935 as a narrow-gauge railway between Trieste and Poreč. Thus, this location brings together the designation of a challenging cycling tour, a connection via the salt pans and the memory of a former railway line.

Culture and history

The salt-production experience begins with a walk through Camp Lucija. The meeting point is located in the Sonce Children's Park in Lucija. The experience introduces children to a 700-year-old tradition of salt production.

In the surroundings of Lucija, Forma Viva comprises more than 130 stone sculptures created by artists from more than 30 countries. The sculptures thus bring a wide range of international artistic origins to the area around Lucija.

Nature and water

Marina Portorož currently has more than 1,000 berths. It was planned in 1974 as the first Slovenian port on the foundations of the former salt pans of Lucija.

In the surroundings of Lucija, the beach at Camp Lucija offers views of nearby salt pans and a nature reserve where migratory birds can be observed. The same beach can be reached by bus from Lucija and is a popular starting point for stand-up paddling. Nature observation, salt pans and water sports are therefore combined at this beach in a single described setting.
