LOVRAN
The small town of Lovran is not so far from Opatija towards Istria, right on the sea below the "Učka" mountain. Lovran is marked by a pleasant climate and by an important architectural inheritance from the time of the Austrian monarchy, to which Lovran also belonged. In the VII century Lovran was mentioned for the first time and was well known in the middle Ages as a city of sailors, fishermen and traders. Between the XIX and XX centuries the Austrian aristocracy gave the order to build villas in the northern and southern part of the old City, in secession style, with carefully maintained parks and gardens. Some of these, in typical imperial style, belong to the world-wide architectural cultural heritage and are today opened as exclusive hotels for tourism. In the hinterland from Lovran is the nature park Učka with maintained walking and cycling tracks through the centuries-old forests, in which chestnut trees (typical for this area) can be found. Apart from outstanding accommodation facilities, Lovran offers also outstanding gastronomic specialities and fish courses, which you can enjoy in the numerous restaurants. Walks along the coastal promenade and many cultural events are only one part of the offer which Lovran affords to you with great charm and hospitality.
