Hiking trails and routes related to mining
The 15 km hiking trail runs from Raša via the former mining railway, Breg and Kapelica to Presika and on to Labin. On the return route, it descends past quarries and a mine. The connection to mining is specific along the trail: it runs via the former mining railway and, on the return route, past the quarries and mine mentioned above. Check trail conditions before setting out.
An approximately 10 km Labin–Raša–Labin loop related to mining culture runs via Presika and Kapelica to the Karlota quarry and on to Raša. It has 224 metres of elevation gain and is considered moderately difficult overall. The descent to Raša and the climb to Labin are described as more challenging. When choosing a route, it is helpful to consider the overall difficulty rating and these more challenging sections separately.
The Arsia Trail also runs via Kapelica to Presika and from there to Labin. The Kapelica–Presika–Labin sequence provides another specific route connection for orientation, without applying the length stated for the Labin–Raša–Labin loop to this trail.

On the Lucy with crystal-clear eyes cycling route, Presika is listed as a route point at kilometre 37.3; the route then ends in Labin’s old town square.
