About Camino Pula Walking Trail
Camino Pula Walking Trail is a peaceful seaside route along Pula’s quieter northern coastline. The trail begins at the Mandrač parking lot, crosses a small bridge and continues into a calm coastal landscape accompanied by the sounds of the sea and birds.
The path follows an area that was once used by the military. Abandoned stone buildings and old piers remain beside the route, reflecting elements of Pula’s Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav military past.
Today, the trail offers a relaxed setting for walking, jogging and cycling. Its coastal scenery and shaded sections make it particularly appealing to families, couples and visitors looking for a quieter outdoor experience in Pula.
