formaviva

by call_me_rhia

Formaviva is an interesting garden reacheable on foot from Portoroz and past Lucja. It's an open air museum housing several statues made by local artists as well as artists from abroad - all statues are carved into stone and most are abstract. The statues were collected over a 40 years period, from 1961 to 2001.
It's worth going there even if you're not interested in art, since the views over Portoroz bay are quite good.
To get there walk first to Lucja and then reach the go-kart circuit. On the left there's a campground: follow the road on the right that heads up the hill and continue walking.

Orlikins goes to Portoroz

"Port of Roses"

We went to Portoroz as a daytrip from Ljubljana, it was a _very_ close call between Portoroz and Zagreb...but we had a great time in Portoroz. Great weather, great scenery, great music in the stereo, great beer and an even better time!!

Portoroz is on the Adriatic, south of Koper & Piran. It's v accessible from Trieste, Italy. In fact we came across a lot of Italian/"Triestrian" daytrippers in Portoroz, so Trieste obviously isnt _that_ far away. Portoroz is like a stone's throw from the Croatian border and border crossing isnt a big problem.

Unfortunately our time was cut short as my last train back home to Austria was 4pm from Ljubjana! :( So we didnt have time to check out local restaurants & bars
