Experiences

Exploring Debeli rtič

Visitors can walk between olive yards and vineyards and descend from the top of the Ankaran’s peninsula to the cliff, which at Debeli rtič descends steeply into the sea. The cliff walls are between 12 and 21 meters high. Numerous, autochthonous plants cover them, and the rocky seabed hosts many marine organisms, due to the shallowness of the sea and good illumination. The seabed is covered with typical algae or, on sand, with seaweed cymodocea, that hide numerous animals: Sulphur sponge, waxy sea anemone, oyster, edible mussel, pen shell, banded dye-murex, sea urchin, sea cucumber, small crab and others.

Following Bebler's path

Bebler's path, named after dr. Aleš Bebler - Primož, is a footpath leading from the centre of Ankaran to Črni vrh (Montemoro) and Hrvatini, and from there to Božiči, where, following the Sanatorian hill, it descends to the sea, more precisely to Saint Catherine and back to the centre of Ankaran. At Saint Catherine's, hikers can discover the bivalve shells in the shells’ cemetery and listen to numerous birds nesting there. In the salt meadow just next to Saint Nicholas they can admire native plants and then, in the park, visit the monument dedicated to dr. Aleš Bebler - Primož.
