THE SUBMERGED CITY OF SIPAR

ISTRIADUCTION September | Weekend| Free Entrance Along the west coast of Istria, four kilometers from Umag is the flooded town of Sipar, to which many legends are associated. During high tides and today you can see the remains of this ancient city that springs from the sea. Sipar Castle was built probably around the year 1000, next to the already missing Siparis, when it allegedly once served as a lighthouse. At that time, nearby Umag suffered from robbers several times, and it is not excluded that the castle was built by pirates who, when they conquered Siparis, lived there and prepared for their further expeditions from here. The castle was in good condition until 1943, when the Germans demolished its upper part with artillery for strategic reasons.

The race puts a special experience, fun and entertainment of competitors but at the same time, it wants to tell more about the ecological and gastronomical offer of rural Istria. While we were running along the route we visited refreshing points where we were able to taste great wines of Istrian winemakers. Also, we made little masquerade and animated by different musical entertainers. In one point we were a little bit drunk but at that point, we had the best race time. Tips: Don't drink and drive, just drink and run :) [fusion_map address="latlng=45.441177, 13.524217" type="roadmap" zoom="10" scrollwheel="yes" scale="yes" zoom_pancontrol="yes" animation="no" popup="yes" map_style="default" infobox="default" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" /]
