Parenzana Railway
From 1902 to 1935 a train line used to run from Trieste to Poreč. The 123 kilometre trip in those days took 6 hours until the rails were pulled out and taken to Africa by Mussolini’s troops (it never got there, but was sunk by a submarine somewhere in the Mediterranean). Bridges, viaducts and tunnels are still there and make for fantastic bike rides and long walks. If nothing else, take a walk to the Cupuli (Zupellia) station where Parenzana line used to stop.
