Itinerary description
|
The Paranzana is currently a railway site of a narrow gauge line in service from 1902 until 1935 and connected the ports of Trieste, Capodistria and Parenzo with the other small - but no less important - cities within the peninsula. During the period of pending service of the road network built by Italy it contributed to the economic development of the "wildest" and perhaps the most beautiful part of Istria. In fact it guaranteed the trade of "Malvasia" (the name of the wine par excellence of the region) and Bianchera (olive oil) from Buje and Motovun, the salt from the Roman salt pans of Sicciole and Pirano and certainly the large quantities of Istrian stone, and then of lime.
The railway area has a development of 123 km and connects 33 Istrian cities of three national territories: Italy - 13 km, Slovenia - 32 km and Croatia - 78 km. In reality, for the necessary variations, some tourist articles indicate slightly longer lengths
The vaults of the stone viaducts, tunnels made exclusively of stone, stone milestones and boundary stones bearing the distance from Trieste and the inscription TPC (Trieste-Parenzo-Kanfanar), the old railway stations (still existing) leave a trace indelible.
In the original Austrian project, the railway was to reach Kanfanar to connect with the railway coming from Pula.
in 2002, one hundred years after the start of construction, the three nations decided to restore the bottom of the grounds for trekking and cycle paths in support of sustainable tourism.
The long development was divided into 6 identifiable sections with Roman numerals starting from the I^ that of Trieste to the VI^, that of Porec.
The III^, the IV^ and the V^ perhaps with the most interesting due to their distance from human settlements and infrastructures and which can well represent the whole of Istria.
The III^, presented here, is 26 km long (not 27.2 gross) and the description is omitted, leaving the user the pleasure of discovery as well as for the terminus of Grisignano, a gem of a town without equal in beauty and characteristic of the construction with a Venetian flavour.
Note: In Kaldanja 0.8 miles (+ or - 1.3 km) have to be removed in which there was a long stop (40') which must be deducted from the time recorded.
