During preparation of railway's centennial celebration, the Italian and most of Slovenian sections were, with the financial help of the European Union, converted  into a recreation Trail of Health and Friendship (Pot zdravja in prijateljstva in Slovenian, Percorso della salute e dell'amicizia in Italian) for pedestrians and cyclists and similar works started at the Croatian side as well.
The section between Vizinada and Motovun has been popular with walkers for some years.
