Private and state ownership

Estimated value of the project: EUR 14,000,000

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 (1,401 m) with a beautiful view on all four sides (to Venice, Risnjak, Pag and Alps). The starting station is planned near the beach, and the final station at the top of Uččka, 50 m 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 cableway from Medveja to Vojak in the length of 4,700 m on five 14 to 15-metre-high pillars. A return trip cable car with two cabins would be used, each cabin taking 60 passengers, with the maximum capacity of 350-400 passengers/hour. The investment includes the starting station with parking, booking office and restrooms, the final station with a gazebo, a restaurant, cafe and souvenir shop and the entire route of the access roads.
