Vanganel - Vanganel Lake

Access to starting point:
We leave the coastal highway at the exit for Pulj, Poreč and Šmarje. Further, we drive on the main road towards Šmarje; at the roundabout by the OMV gas station we leave it and take the exit in the direction towards Marezige and Vanganel. In Vanganel after the sports field we turn left and then park on the parking lot by the sports field. Parking on the parking lot of the inn Gostilna Ninis Vanganel is allowed only to visitors of the inn.

Route description:
From the parking lot, by which we notice signs for the path "Pot za srce in dušo", we return to the main road, which we carefully cross at the pedestrian crossing, and then continue left towards Marezige. After a few steps, we leave the main road and continue right on a side road, which ascends among a few houses. Further, we follow the signs, which are in the shape of red and blue lines; these a little ahead direct us left onto a cart track, which quickly changes into a footpath, and via the footpath we reach an asphalt road, along which we descend to the main road Vanganel - Marezige (to here also possible via the main road), which we carefully cross and continue the path along a side road to the nearby Bavški potok, where the path splits.
We continue on the right path, which continues across private land, then passes among bushes, where the path is occasionally quite overgrown. Higher, we return to the main road, along which we continue to Vanganelsko jezero.
