The name “Lovran” means laurel, a spice plant that can also be found in the town’s coat of arms and in the green forests in the surrounding area. This former shipbuilding town is famous above all for its authentic atmosphere, the unmistakable nostalgic style and the fantastic beaches that invite you to swim and relax along the extremely pretty coasts. Active people can let off some steam in the surroundings of Lovran with the nature park Ucka and its mountain Vojak. There are some fantastic hiking trails and mountain bike routes.

The history of Lovran as a tourist destination dates back to more than 100 years, when the Austro-Hungarian nobility discovered this coastal town as a health resort in the mid-19th century. At that time, the town was considered a recreational destination for the well-heeled, who usually spent the winter here. Today you can still see many of the ancient, partly well preserved K.u.K. villas, which give the beautiful promenade and the village a very charming noble touch.
