Location

The cable car route connects Medveja to the Vojak mountain top on the Učka Mountain (Municipality of Lovran and City of Opatija).

Ownership

Private and state ownership

Estimated value of the project: EUR 11,000,000

Significance of the project

The cable car connects the coast and the Učka Mountain area and it is of great relevance for the tourist industry of the entire region. Medveja is a tourist place with a bay spreading across three kilometres of the bay coastline with an 800-m long pebble beach. Vojak is the highest peak of the Učka Mountain and of the entire Istrian Peninsula. The station at its foot would be in the immediate proximity of the beach, and the station on top would be at a 15-minute to 20-minute walking distance from the Vojak peak. The new tourist industry infrastructure will add to the quality of tourist facilities and extend the tourist season in Kvarner to a year-round season.

The project involves the following construction

Construction of the ascending route from Medveja to Vojak in the approximate length of 4 kilometres. A return trip cable car with two cabins would be used, each cabin taking 60 passengers, of the maximum capacity of 350-400 passengers/hour; with two cabins travelling on two tracks, whereby each track is made of two completely enclosed track cables fixed on both terminals. Other equipment includes ticket charging systems and forest clearing costs, costs of permits etc. Other investments include the construction of stations (approximately EUR 300,000 per station), parking places near the station at the foot of the mountain (estimated at EUR 100,000) and additional smaller cable cars on the route B from the mountain station to the top of the mountain near Vojak (approximately EUR 300,000).
