Walk along Istrian penninsula

Day 1. Individual arrival at Rovinj or pick up at Trieste

Welcome and tour introduction

Day 2. Hiking to the Limski Canal

You start the day with a boat trip on the famous Limski Canal. There you leave the boat and visit the treasure cave of Karl Mays “Treasure of the Silver Lake”. Afterwards you walk up to a little church, where you have an impressive view of the canal. Walk past lovely, carefully decorated villages and walk along the old railway track from Kanfanar to Rovinj.

Discover vineyards, wild juniper and fields, protected by old stonewall. Faraway you see the steeples of Rovinj, where the hiking tour ends. Included is a visit of Mini Croatia Park as well as a guided city tour of Rovinj with a visit of the church of St. Euphemia.

Day 3 - Rovinj – Barbariga

You walking boots carry you along the sea. You walk via rough as well as asphalted walking paths along small camping grounds and bays. Slightly hilly, offering many possibilities for a swim, through olive groves and little, shady woods. Little inns along the wayside are waiting for you to refresh yourself.

Day 4 - Barbariga – Fazana

After a good breakfast you start today’s walk along the sea to Fazana. Every little piece of fertile ground is used for growing: wine, green peppers, olives, tomatoes and different fruit count to the most important crops. Not to forget plums as basis for the local plum-schnapps named Sliwowitz. We visit Peroj a little Istrian village with idyllic fisher houses, made from Karst stones. There we leave the coast and walk into the country to Vodnjan, a place said to be inhabited already 30 to 40 thousand years ago. The church of Vodnjan houses 6 mummies with no scientist being able to tell, why they are preserved in such a good condition. Further the church of Vodnjan houses more than 370 relics from more than 250 different saints. Our last destination today is Fazana, along evergreen bushes with rosemary, salvage and thyme to our accommodation.

Day 5 - Brijuni National Park

Fazana is a little fisher village. Situated between Vodnjan and Pula it also serves as starting point for visits of the national park Brijuni. The village itself is very quiet, worth seeing is mainly the church Sv. Kosma with a famous picture of the Last Communion, painted by Z. Ventura (1578). The national park Bruijuni consists of 14 smaller and bigger islands, home of an extraordinary variety of species. On the islands about 700 different species of flowers, bush and trees (laurel, rosemary, olives, pines, cedars, eucalyptus and bamboo) can be found. Climate, vegetation and history of the island always arouse a high interest in them. Declared a national park in 1983, it is also home of a safari park with zebras, lamas and deer. The visit takes 3 hours incl. the boat trip. The rest of the day is dedicated to relaxation.

Day 6 - Fazana – Pula

Today we follow the traces of the Romans to Pula. You will note a considerable change of the landscape. Until now the west coast offered the picture of an inhabited area, developed for tourism with an agriculturally developed back country. Now the east coast is getting starker, without rendering the unreal impression of the middle Croatian coast. With 82.000 inhabitants Pula is not only the biggest city of Istria, but also the cultural, economical and unofficially political centre of the peninsula (official capital of the peninsula is Pazin). Nowadays Pula is a growing metropolis of the Istrian peninsula, with large quays, suburbs, museums, theatres and a welcoming old town with points of interest from the different epochs.

Day 7 – Hiking tour to Premantura

The programme of your last day is free for you to decide. Probably you have not seen one or the other interesting cultural monument, or you feel like bathing? Or you would rather undertake a bicycle tour to Preantura – Kamenja, the southernmost point of Istria, about 35 km. Discover the rarely beautiful nature park Kamejak and refresh yourself in lonely bathing bays, have some Croatian specialities at the Robinson bar. Steep cost with 30 m and a wonderful view on the sea are unforgettable impressions.
