By the sea with Andrija

Good day, dear people.

I’m Andrija Mohorovičić and I’ll be your guide today. I am really looking forward to this walk, it reminds me of my young professor’s days I spent here in Bakar. Who knows what my life would look like if I hadn’t found myself in this beautiful town! This place took me to the top in science. Not everyone has a crater on the moon named after him!

Let’s go for a walk along Primorje, the longest street in Bakar. Let’s take a look at its bay and the interesting things surrounding it. First to the right, through a small park with stone tables, next to the brightly colored House of Culture. When we reach the parking lot, turn left and continue down the road to the coast. I am taking you this way to see the building of Bakar Maritime School.

The Tunnel

The entrance to the tunnel is very impressive. Do you see how immerses into the sea? How long is it? I won’t bother with that fact, neither should you. I’m sure the answer will appear at the end of the walk.

Park Banj

Wow! Look at this ankora!

Tuna fishing Park

Sometimes it’s good to relax. I stare at the floor and count fish.

While the peculiarities of the air movement over the Bakar Bay attracted my curiosity, some other curious creatures appeared below its surface. Deep waters would often deceive schools of tuna and bring them within reach of settlements. In Bakar Bay, fishing was done from the shore by waiting for fish and pulling nets. Tuna hunting used to be an important economic activity of the local population since Frankopan times. Feel free to ask Ana Katarina if you join her for a walk.

Keep going north until you reach the Jadran Hotel. Doesn’t it remind you a bit of a Maritime School building? No wonder! It housed once the old Maritime School where I worked.

BONUS CHALLENGE: ANCHORS

Can you find some ankora symbols during the walk? As always, keep your eyes open.
