Imagine walking through green countryside full of vineyards, olive trees, rivers and forests, full of beautiful villages and medieval hilltop towns. Experience the natural beauty every step of the way and with every new winding road.

Learn about the culture and heritage of Istria and visit picturesque towns on the hills with unforgettable views which will leave you breathless. Visit Hum, the smallest town in the world and experience the spirit of the past in Grožnjan, the town of artists. Highlights of the tour are your walks through Ucka Nature Park the climb up to Mount Vojak experiencing stunning views of Kvarner Bay.

As the route takes you inland, that's when the adventure starts - this area has preserved its charm and beauty with many remote villages immersed in rough nature and extensive forests. Something you won't forget is when the imposing hill-top town of Motovun looms in front of you. For many Croatians, this is the most beautiful medieval town in the country, with houses scattered all over the hill interspersed with vineyards producing great wines.

The area you will explore features outstanding natural beauty, and traces of a glorious past. Medieval towns - all protected cultural monuments - stand on hill tops as if they were some kind of strange hill cap, and each one of them will fascinate you with its special charm.

During your walks you won't suffer either hunger or thirst, since each larger village accommodates at least one tavern, inn or restaurant, all offering the delicious homemade foods and the fine local wines.
