The Parenzana, a new tourist destination

In Istria they recently opened a new tourist attraction: the 'Parenzana' or road of health and friendship.  

The Parenzana is a new (mountain-)bike and walking road that uses the old railroad track between Trieste and Porec (Parenza in Latin). This rail road was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. Napoleon used its tracks to melt canons. Today it connects Trieste, Koper, Buje, Groznjan, Oprtalj, Motovun and Visnijan. It passes lush natural areas, many small Istrian mountain villages and small cities. It brings you to undiscovered places of extraordinary beauty, somthing far away from the usual tourist destinations. 

The Parenzana is part of the 'Parenzana Code Kit'. In this guide book you will find a great game for holiday makers, in search of wondering around in most beautiful place of Istria. It gives you a wealth of details on history and a description of Istria today.
