Places on the line

The trail is the spine. The places are the reason to slow down.

Grožnjan

Artists above the railway.

The former station at Stanica sits below the town; the route immediately enters one of the strongest sequences of tunnels and viaducts.

Livade

Valley pause, truffle country.

A natural break between the northern engineering section and the Motovun landscape, with a preserved station and a small Parenzana museum noted by official sources.

Motovun

The hill above the line.

The railway passes below Motovun and through the tunnel under the hill. The town deserves enough time to justify the climb or a planned transfer.

Vižinada

A route threshold.

One endpoint of the official Istria Bike Trail 19 and a strong access point for the eastern part of the restored Croatian corridor.
