Lim Canal

Lim fiord, Lim, Limski canal
Croatia, Vrsar
The Lim Canal is a hydro-morphological phenomenon formed during the ice age - a bay that strongly protrudes into the land. It is located south of the city of Poreč, near the cities of Vrsar and Rovinj. It is part of the Lim Gorge, which stretches from the coast almost to the very center of the Istrian peninsula. The total length of the valley is 35 km, the channel is more than 10 km. The depth of the bay is 30 m, the width in the widest part is almost 600 m. Steep mountains up to 100 m high rise on both sides of the Lima Gulf.

In 1980, the Lima Canal was declared a protected area, so diving, fishing, and driving on gasoline vehicles are prohibited on its territory.

On the south side of the bay is Romuald's Cave, where Saint Romuald lived as a hermit. Another attraction of the vicinity of the Lim Canal is the Baredine karst cave, 66 meters deep.

The Lima Canal can be visited both with a boat or bus tour, and on your own.

Admiring the nature of Istria, we got to this beautiful place. The channel is very similar to the Norwegian fjord, it was not for nothing that it was chosen for the filming of the film "Vikings", which is now reminiscent of a restaurant with the same name. You can take a boat ride along the entire canal, you can just sit and drink coffee in a cafe with a beautiful view. We did not regret visiting this place.
