Otočje pozitivne energije | The Archipelago of Positive Energy
Od zaštićenih morskih organizama značajna je školjka periska koja
doseže i do 70 cm dužine, a u njezinim mekim dijelovima mogu se
naći pravi jadranski biseri. Povremeno more oko Brijuna posjećuju
kornjače i dupini, a u blizini je ponovno uspostavljeno i stanište
gotovo izumrle jadranske medvjedice.
Vizionar Kupelwieser
Prvi koji je Brijune uveo na turističku kartu svijeta kao mjesto
eksluzivna doživljaja, bio je austrijski industrijalac Paul Kupelwieser
koji je 1893. kupio malarične Brijune i vizionarski ih preobrazio
u mondeno ljetovalište i lječilište. Mauzolej obitelji Kupelwieser
danas je jedno od nezaobilaznih mjesta posjeta, a treba svratiti i do
najočuvanijeg od tri vidikovca Kupelwieserovih Brijuna koji su zbog
svoje konstrukcije bili izlagani i na izložbama. Izrađeni su oko 1895.
godine u željezari u Vitkovicama, u kojoj je do dolaska na Brijune
radio Paul Kupelwieser (1843. - 1919.). Brijuni su u njegovo vrijeme
postali stjecište europske i svjetske elite, a o dolascima mnogobrojnih
gostiju, pripadnika aristokratske, kulturne, znanstvene, industrijske
i ekonomske elite redovito su pisale otočne novine u kojima je
sudjelovao i učitelj engleskog jezika na Brijunima, poznati irski pisac
James Joyce. Svoj drugi uzlet kao mjesto elitnog okupljanja doživjeli
su Brijuni u vrijeme Josipa Broza Tita. Danas su Brijuni dostupni
to become acclimatized here. More importantly, some vegetal species
that belong to the group of particularly endangered species in Istria
(marine poppy, wild cucumber, some grass species, etc.) have also
been found on the archipelago and are adequately represented as
they continue to grow here. In addition, there is also exotic vegetation
that was planted personally by distinguished statesmen who came
from many countries spanning the globe that once stayed on Brijuni.
Visionary Kupelwieser
The first person who put Brijuni on the world’s tourist map
representing a location with an exclusive experience was the
Austrian industrialist Paul Kupelwieser, who bought the malarial
Brijuni in 1893 and, in a visionary manner, transformed them into a
fashionable summer resort and convalescent home. The mausoleum
of the Kupelwieser family is one of the unavoidable sights today, and
you should also visit the best-preserved of the three Kupelwieser’s
belvederes of the Brijuni, which were exposed at exhibitions owing
to their construction. They were built around 1895 in the ironworks
of Vitkovice, where Paul Kupelwieser (1843 - 1919) worked until he
came to Brijuni. In his time, Brijuni became the meeting-place of
the European and world elite, and the arrivals of numerous guests,
members of the aristocratic, cultural, scientific, industrial and
svima koji uživaju u izravnom dodiru s prirodom. Među ostalim,
postali su i raj za nautičare koji na otoku provedu nekoliko dana
uživajući u bogatoj turističkoj ponudi. Kako bi boravak na Brijunima
učinili što sadržajnijim, domaćini su pripremili nekoliko zanimljivih
programa. Uz golf turnire, Histria Festival te predstave Kazališta
Ulysses, jedna od zanimljivosti je i poučna staza Zelenikovac koja
kroz šumu vodi do stopa dinosaura i svjedoči o ostatcima geološke
prošlosti ovog podneblja. Za posjeta Brijunima neizostavna lokacija
koju treba posjetiti, svakako je uvala Verige s ostatcima iz rimskog
doba koji spadaju među bisere arheološke baštine. Riječ je o najvećoj
i najreprezentativnijoj rimskoj vili iz 1. st. poslije Krista na istočnoj
obali Jadrana. Neizostavan je i obrambeni objekt Bizantski kastrum,
četverokutna kula iz XII. st., i Mletački kaštel.
Uz to što obiluje mnogobrojnim znamenitostima i sadržajima koji
upotpunjuju turističku ponudu, Brijuni su jedna od najljepših hrvatskih
oaza mira u kojoj svatko može pronaći nešto za sebe.
economic elite were regularly featured in the island’s newspaper,
which, among others, participated with an English teacher on
Brijuni, the famous Irish writer James Joyce. Brijuni’s second takeoff
as a place of an elite gathering happened in the time of Josip Broz
Tito. Today, Brijuni has become available for all those who enjoy an
immediate touch with nature. Among other things, they became a
paradise for boaters who spend several days on the island enjoying
the rich tourism that Brijuni could offer. In order to make your stay on
Brijuni more meaningful, the hosts have prepared several interesting
programs. In addition to golf tournaments, the Histria Festival and
the Ulysses Theatre performances, there is also the enlightening
Zelenikovac path that leads through the forest to dinosaurs’ footsteps
and presents the remains of geological history of this climate. During
a stay on Brijuni you should definitely visit Verige Bay with ruins from
the Roman Age, pearls of archaeological heritage. This is the largest
and the best representative Roman villa from the 1st century A.D.
on the east coast of the Adriatic. You should also see the defensive
building Byzantium Castrum, a square hill-tower from the 12th
century and the Venetian castle.
In addition to experiencing the numerous sights and activities that
complete Brijuni’s tourism, it is fair to comment that the islands are
one of the most beautiful Croatian oases of peace where each and
every one of us can find something for ourselves.
