Further details
Lovran is situated in the north part of the Kvarner Bay and belongs to the attractive Opatija Riviera, the summer residence of the Austro-Hungarian elite. Thanks to excellent climatic conditions, the vicinity of the Ucka mountain and the favourable influence of the sea, Lovran is a tourist destination suitable for every season. Dense vegetation, a 12km long seaside promenade, known as Lungomare and the slopes of the Kvarner mounts enable the visitors of Lovran to enjoy various activities - walking, tennis, fitness, swimming pools (hotel Excelsior), mountaineering, cycling, jogging, sailing, fishing, swimming, diving (nearby Moscenicka Draga), canoeing and rafting.
There are four national parks to explore nearby: Brijuni, the Plitvice Lakes, Paklenica and Risnjak, or you could island hop - the waters around the island of Lošinj are home of the biggest Mediterranean group of dolphins... Or you could try the island of Cres for its ornithological reserve - as well as eagles, falcons and owls, there is a dedicated ornithological reserve for the white-headed griffon vultures which nest, unusually, on rocks next to the sea. All of the above, plus fish-picnics, and ecotourism, gastronomy and wine-tasting excursions can be arranged locally at the Lovran’s Tourist Office, or why not arrange it prior to your arrival, with a reputable tourist agency like Gulliver Travel.
