The Slovenian coast is fascinating 365 days of the year, also outside of the summer season, thanks to the beneficent Mediterranean climate, as it slowly unveils the charms of the sea and nature in autumn, winter and spring. Thus you shouldn’t miss the opportunity of a stroll along the sea during your holiday in Portorož and Piran in any season of the year.

Walking paths of Piran
We will present three circular walking paths that will take you along the sea and in the charming hinterland, where you can get to know the most beautiful parts of Portorož, Piran, Seča and Strunjan.
All three paths are circular and can be combined into one longer path
You can choose to walk along one of the paths, combine two or even all three, for a longer 28 km walk. The picturesque and well-tended paths give you the opportunity to explore Portorož, Piran Seča with the Sečovlje saltpans and alsoStrunjan with its nature park, the vineyards and olive tree grooves in the hinterland and the persimmon orchards that turn orange in autumn.
The paths are well marked
The paths are well tended, safe and regularly maintained, but most of all they are marked well. They are suitable for families with children and also active outdoor lovers. During your walks you will encounter nine informative panels and on the paths there are smaller direction signs that will keep you on the right way. There are also markings on the floor for easier orientation.
The starting point of all three paths is in Portorož, then the paths take you towards Piran, Strunjan or Seča. The length of the paths ranges from seven to twelve kilometres. Each path can be walked from start to finish in two to three hours.
A map of the walking paths is available in the tourist information centres in Portorož, Piran and Padna.

Najbolj znane pohodniške poti v zaledje Istre
Pohod po Istri vas bo vedno znova navdušil, saj hkrati vabi k ogledu vse prisrčno stare istrske vasi in njene zgodovinske znamenitosti kot tudi naravne danosti, kraški kamen, visoke trdne stene, razglede z okoliških hribov in za ta kraj tradicionalno floro.
Za vas smo pripravili tri najbolj priljubljene pohodniške poti po Istri.
1. Na Slavnik po razgled
Srednje zahtevna pot z vzponom, ki je lahko primerna tudi za družine, vam bo vzela slabe 3 ure hoje s štartne pozicije Podgorja, kjer boste lahko parkirali avto. Med potjo vas bo spomladi spremljalo gorsko cvetje; potonike, perunike, bledo rumeni ušivec, kranjska lilija, … Na vrhu pa vas bo razvajal razgled do vrhov Kamniških, Julijskih, Karnijskih Alp, Dolomitov, Čičarije, Učke in Snežnika. Pogled nižje pa bo segal do Brkinov, Čičarije, kraške planote, Šavrinskega gričevja in kraljevino Jadranskega morja.
Srednje zahtevna pot, primerna za družine, vas bo popeljala po kolovozih in stezah ter utrjeni kraški podlagi. Na poti vas bo spremljalo veliko zanimivosti: Velika Osapska stena z jamo Grad in izvirom Osapske reke, Grad Socerb, Sveta jama, Kraški rob, ostanki utrdbe nad Črnim Kalom, Benkova hiša in cerkev sv. Valentina s poševnim zvonikom v Črnem Kalu, Stara Gabrovica, udornica Mišja peč.
Srednje zahtevna pot, ki ni najbolj primerna za družine in neizkušene pohodnike, prične na parkirišču vasice Padna, pred gostilo Istranova. Raziskovali boste Padno, Novo vas in dolina Drnice. Med potjo pa opazili dve najbolj znani znamenitosti; Cerkev Marije Roženvenske, iz leta 1470 in 26 m visok zvonik s kipom sv. Jožefa iz leta 1896.
