Access to starting point:
From the coastal highway we drive towards Izola, and when the highway ends, on a regional road we drive in the direction of Portorož. When we get to a crossroad, where a road branches off to the right towards Izola and camp Belvedere we are at the beginning of the described path. We can park on a payable parking lot near the camp, or already before at the roadside rest area.
Path description:
At the crossroad, where the described path begins, we notice a red mountain signpost with the caption Strunjan, which pointing across the side road. We carefully cross the road, and then for a short time, we continue along the main road towards Portorož. Before Hotel Belvedere we leave the main road and we continue on a side road to the hotel, and from there we follow the blazes, which lead us past the camp Belvedere Izola. After the camp we go from the asphalt road slightly right, on a parallel footpath, on which we continue with nice views towards the sea and coastal settlements. A little further, we reach a learning path, and the path descends a little through a lane of a forest. At the crossings, we still follow the blazes, and then we reach the edge of the cliff above the bay Mesečev zaliv. Next follows a panoramic walk by the edge of a precipice, where for the security reasons on many spots there is placed a wooden fence, and a quite gentle and occasionally quite panoramic path, we follow all the way to cross Strunjanski križ.
From the cross we continue straight, on the path which at first still offers some view, and then we pass into the forest, through which we start visibly descending. At few crossings we follow the blazes of European footpath, and then past Hotel Svoboda we descend to a large parking lot in Strunjan, where we go right and we continue along lagoon Stjuža. When we get to the sea we go left and then we continue between Stjuža on the left and the coast on the right. A little further, we over the bridge cross a ditch, which connects Stjuža and the sea, and on the other side of the bridge, we already get to Strunjan Saltworks, and we go left to saltworks house.
