Imagine walking through a green countryside full of vineyards, olive trees, rivers and forests, full of beautiful villages and medieval hilltop towns. Experience the natural beauty of Istria 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 that'll 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, and experiencing the 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. You'll never forget the imposing hilltop town of Motovun as it looms before you. Many Croatians claim this is the most beautiful medieval town in the country, with houses scattered all over the hill interspersed with vineyards that produce great wines.

You'll explore areas with outstanding natural beauty and traces of a glorious past. Medieval towns - all protected cultural monuments - stand on hilltops as if they were some kind of strange hill cap. Each one will fascinate you with its special charm.

You won't suffer hunger or thirst on your walks since each larger village accommodates at least one tavern, inn or restaurant. Enjoy delicious homemade foods and fine local wines.
