Numerous hotels and the landscaped environment made Lovran one
of the popular jet-set winter resorts. Lovran was visited then
by many famous figures (Tomás Garyg Masaryk, first president of
Czechoslovakia). First it was popular as a winter resort, and
after the Second World War it started to develop into a summer
resort. Today it is a popular seaside resort and a national
sanatorium (the famous orthopaedic hospital). The mild climate
(Mt. Ucka protects it in winter from the cold winds and in
summer provides freshness), the lavish Mediterranean vegetation
as well as the permanently landscaped environment make it one of
the most elite summer resorts in Croatia. |
