From the Adriatic coast, a lush, green landscape of rolling hills slowly gives way to a more mountainous east where the high, rugged peaks of the Uçka Mountains drop steeply down into the glistening waters of the Bay of Kvarner. This is a land of secluded valleys and fertile plains dotted with hill-top towns and a spectacular jagged coastline of lagoons and islands, quiet coves and long sandy beaches.
The views down to the sea and over the islands as we descended the mountains grew more spectacular with every step.
     
On this fascinating walk, you cross the breadth of the Istrian peninsula, from close to the Adriatic Sea in the west to the beautiful coastline of the eastern seaboard at Lovran. As you walk through the rolling fields, woods and neat vineyards of the Mirna valley, you pass through small hill-top towns and villages where the fascinating history of this area comes alive. From bustling Buje, and medieval Motovun, to the provincial capital, Pazin, then over the mountains and down to the sea for a final flourish at Lovran, you experience the authentic and picturesque heart of the Istrian peninsula.
