The Green & Blue Rijeka project entails a network of footpaths that connect the largest and most beautiful forests around Rijeka with the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main forest trail, Kantrida \u2013 Adriatic Gate \u2013 Preluk, starts at the bus station across from the Children\u2019s Hospital. By following the blue and white markings, we will quickly reach the information board that lets you know that you are entering Laurel Park. Before resuming your trek, we recommend visiting the park, which offers soothing forest trails, hidden corners with benches for resting, wildflower meadows, young orchards (cherries, mulberries, figs and medlars), a one-of-a-kind exhibition of works from the School of Applied Arts and the Academy of Applied Arts…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Classroom (\u201cU\u010dionica\u201d) is a fitting starting point for organised groups of visitors and a supposed lay-by for Mussolini\u2019s cavalry at one time. The Tale Trail (\u201cPri\u010daonica\u201d) is intended for relaxed socialising in a fanciful living room in the forest. Rock Scene is a venue for jamming and dancing or taking a stroll in the nearby meadow lined with young cypress trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we proceed along the park\u2019s middle path and pass the Home for the Elderly. After a few minutes, the blue and white markings will lead us to the information board at the entrance to the Stribor\u2019s Forest educational hiking trail. Here, we continue on the forest paths with additional signage and genuine red and white markings. Soon we will reach the meadows dominated by two military structures in the form of WWII artillery bunkers. The trail blazes then point you toward the Stribor\u2019s Forest lookout as we follow the blue and white markings straight ahead and out of the forest atop the steep local street Turanjski Put.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is followed by a brief walk through Turanjski Put to the ramp and ultimately to the Adriatic Gate rest area. After approximately ten minutes, the main forest road branches off to the left toward Preluk. But after three minutes of plodding straight uphill, it is time, or should we say the \u201chalftime\u201d of our forest adventure, to have some well-earned respite. We cross the historical footbridge over the railway and find replenishment at the Adriatic Gate next to the Kvarner Tourist Board\u2019s information centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a good rest, we go back again for three minutes, cross the bridge and soon turn right toward Preluk. The city\u2019s largest and most beautiful forest awaits us here. Its exceptional value as the backbone of green infrastructure has prompted the City of Rijeka to submit a proposal to declare the Preluk-Bivio Forest Park a protected area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail leads us through select locations offering stunning unobstructed views of Kvarner as we walk amid historical dry stone walls akin to those found at Velebit and marvel at the stone water tanks along the way… We inconspicuously enter the deep oak forest teeming with butcher\u2019s broom and ivy, taking the winding roads toward the nearest houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After walking across two pedestrian crossings on the main road, there is a short descent through the forest to a white tankhouse via a local cul-de-sac. We turn left here and continue for a few minutes through the forest to the Akademija bus station near Preluk. From there, it only takes a couple of minutes to reach the promenade on a forest path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You can also pass the white tankhouse and go down the narrow stairs between two houses and then head straight toward Preluk. However, this path leads to a road in the middle of a bend and therefore requires caution and is not recommended for families with children or larger groups of visitors.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the popular promenade, we transform from hikers to regular tourists. That means exchanging sturdy footwear for flip-flops and taking selfies at every cafe on the way. En route, we will test the sea temperature with our bare feet on each little beach. We will do this all the way to Kantrida, whence we embarked three or four hours ago. The Green & Blue Rijeka project encompasses a couple of other linking paths that descend to the sea from the main forest trail. Among them are the turnoffs to Bivio and Skalete (Hilton), which also bear the blue and white markings. Visitors, recreationists and athletes can create their own green and blue routes between the forests and the sea. They can be accessed primarily from Kantrida, the Adriatic Gate and the Preluk parking area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pratimo plavo-bijele markacije i odmah dolazimo do info-plo\u010de koja nam ka\u017ee da ulazimo u Park lovora. Prije nastavka puta preporu\u010damo razgledavanje parka koji nudi udobne \u0161umske staze, skrivene kutke s klupicom za odmor, cvijetne livade, mlade vo\u0107njake (tre\u0161nje, vi\u0161nje, murve, smokve, mu\u0161mule), jedinstvenu izlo\u017ebu radova \u0160kole za primijenjenu umjetnost i Akademije primijenjenih umjetnosti...\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nLokacija \"U\u010dionica<\/strong>\" prikladna je kao po\u010detna to\u010dka za organizirane grupe posjetitelja, pri\u010da se da je tu svojevremeno boravila konjica Mussolinijeve vojske. Lokacija \"Pri\u010daonica\" namijenjena je opu\u0161tenijem dru\u017eenju u ma\u0161tovitom \u0161umskom dnevnom boravku. Na lokaciji \"Rock scena\" mo\u017ee se zasvirati i zaplesati te pro\u0161etati obli\u017enjom cvijetnom livadom uz aleju mladih \u010dempresa.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nZatim nastavljamo sredi\u0161njom stazom parka i prolazimo pored Doma za starije osobe. Plavo-bijele oznake kroz nekoliko minuta dovode nas do info-plo\u010de na ulazu u Pou\u010dnu planinarsku stazu \"\u0160umu Striborovu\". Tu nastavljamo \u0161umskim puteljcima koji su dodatno ozna\u010deni i pravim planinarskim crveno-bijelim markacijama. Ubrzo sti\u017eemo do livada na kojima dominiraju dva vojna objekta - topovski bunkeri iz 2. svjetskoga rata. Planinarske markacije zatim skre\u0107u prema vidikovcu \u0160ume Striborove a mi nastavljamo ravno, pratimo na\u0161e plavo-bijele oznake i uskoro izlazimo iz \u0161ume upravo na vrhu strme lokalne ulice Turanjski put.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nSlijedi kratka \u0161etnja lokalnim Turanskim putem do rampe, iza koje nastavljamo prema odmori\u0161tu Vrata Jadrana. Nakon desetak minuta lijevo se odvaja na\u0161 glavni \u0161umski put prema Preluku. Me\u0111utim, tri minute ravno uzbrdo nudi nam se zaslu\u017eeni odmor - poluvrijeme na\u0161e \u0161umske avanture. Stoga prelazimo preko povijesnog pje\u0161a\u010dkog mosta iznad pruge i dolazimo na okrijepu kod info-centra TZ Kvarnera na Vratima Jadrana.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nKad smo se dovoljno odmorili vra\u0107amo se one tri minute, prelazimo most i ubrzo zatim skre\u0107emo desno prem Preluku. Tu nas \u010deka najve\u0107a i najljep\u0161a gradska \u0161uma, koju je zbog njene vrlo visoke vrijednosti grad Rijeka u svojim dokumentima uvrstio u okosnice mre\u017ee zelene infrastrukture kao Prijedlog za\u0161ti\u0107enog podru\u010dja \"Park \u0161uma Preluk-Bivio\".\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nStaza nas vodi odabranim lokacijama s prekrasnim otvorenim pogledima na Kvarner, hodamo izme\u0111u povijesnih suhozida nalik na one velebitske, divimo se usputnim gra\u0111enim kamenim spremi\u0161tima za vodu...Neprimjetno ulazimo u duboku hrastovu \u0161umu s puno veprine i br\u0161ljana te vijugavim stazicama izlazimo do prvih ku\u0107a.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nNa glavnoj cesti prelazimo dva pje\u0161a\u010dka prijelaza i vrlo kratko spu\u0161tamo se kroz \u0161umu lokalnom slijepom uli\u010dicom do bijele ku\u0107ice vodospreme. Tu skre\u0107emo lijevo jo\u0161 nekoliko minuta kroz \u0161umu do autobusne stanice Akademija u blizini Preluka. Od nje je svega dvije minute \u0161umskim puteljkom do obalne \u0161etnice uz more.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n(Mogu\u0107e je kod bijele ku\u0107ice nastaviti ravno dolje i izme\u0111u dvije ku\u0107e niz uske stepenice krenuti ravno prema Preluku. Me\u0111utim, taj put izlazi na cestu usred zavoja pa je potreban velik oprez i nije namijenjen obiteljima s djecom niti ve\u0107im grupama posjetitelja.)\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nNa popularnom obalnom pje\u0161a\u010dkom putu iz planinara pretvaramo se u obi\u010dne turiste. To zna\u010di da \u010dvrste cipele mo\u017eemo zamijeniti japankama i snimati selfije u svakom usputnom kafi\u0107u. Usput \u0107emo bosim nogama izmjeriti temperaturu mora na svakoj pla\u017eici. I tako sve do Kantride s koje smo krenuli prije tri-\u010detiri sata.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\"Zeleno-plava Rijeka\" uklju\u010duje jo\u0161 nekoliko spojnih puteva koji se sa glavne \u0161umske staze spu\u0161taju na more. Me\u0111u njima izdvajamo odvojak za Bivio i odvojak za Skalete (Hilton) koji su tako\u0111er ozna\u010deni plavo-bijelim markacijama. Na taj na\u010din posjetitelji, rekreativci i sporta\u0161i mogu kombinirati vlastite zeleno-plave rute izme\u0111u \u0161ume i mora. Glavni prilazi su od Kantride, od Vrata Jadrana i od parkirali\u0161ta na Preluku.\r\n\r\n","trail_id":21,"mjesto_podrucje":"Rijeka","trail_run_suitable":true,"vrsta":"p2p","duzina":6,"uspon":218,"najniza_tocka":7,"najvisa_tocka":196,"podloga_asfalt":20,"podloga_teren":80,"tezina":2,"avg_duration":"02:00:00","lokacije_uz":"Kantrida, Preluk, Bivio, park Lovora, \u0160uma Striborova, Skalete, Akademija, Vrata Jadrana","pocetna_tocka":{"address":"Dje\u010dja Bolnica, 51000, Rijeka, Croatia","lat":45.34207,"lng":14.369625,"zoom":16,"place_id":"ChIJe2nfLPmmZEcRRxlwxvVSpIA","city":"Rijeka","state":"Primorsko-goranska \u017eupanija","post_code":51000,"country":"Croatia","country_short":"HR"},"parking":{"address":"Podkoludricu 2, 51000, Rijeka, Croatia","lat":45.34126446667749,"lng":14.373250007629395,"zoom":17,"place_id":"ChIJz42CDvymZEcRr0miBTy2Lcs","street_number":"2","street_name":"Podkoludricu","city":"Rijeka","state":"Primorsko-goranska \u017eupanija","post_code":"51000","country":"Croatia","country_short":"HR"},"gpx":1387,"geojson":1390},"featured_media_src":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/zeleno-plava-rijeka-4ret.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":{"hr":{"locale":"hr","id":1349,"slug":"zeleno-plava-rijeka","post_title":"Zeleno plava Rijeka","href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/trails\/zeleno-plava-rijeka\/"}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trails\/1394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trails"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/trails"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trails\/1394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1395,"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trails\/1394\/revisions\/1395"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rijekaoutdoor.com\/en\/cms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
