Buzet

Morning mist blankets the main square, giving the wet cobblestones a mystical glow. At noon, the museum provides a dry sanctuary filled with local heritage. In the afternoon, we watch the cloud-covered Mirna Valley from the palace's shelter. Evening is spent listening to the rain in a cozy old town tavern over a glass of local red wine.

A frosty morning on the main square with air that is crisp and bitingly clear. At noon, we warm up inside the museum while exploring Istrian history. In the afternoon, the low winter sun bathes the Mirna Valley in cold, golden light. We head early to a heated tavern in the evening to sample the famous seasonal white truffles.

Discover Buzet on two wheels! Start in the old town and roll down to the Mirna River, where you can enjoy flat paths through the green landscape. Visit lesser-known corners like the Small Gate and St. George's Church before learning about the local brewing tradition at the Buzet brewery. The day combines sporty activity in the valley with the cultural charm of the medieval fortress town on the hill. Enjoy riding through the vineyards and olive groves surrounding Buzet.

The day starts with a damp ride to the main square, tires humming on the wet stone. At noon, we shelter inside St. George's Church from a heavy shower. In the afternoon, the riverside path along the Mirna takes us through mud and puddles. We warm up in the evening at the brewery with a cold beer and hearty food.

An ice-cold start at the main square, the wind biting at our faces. At noon, we duck into the church to escape the wind for a short while. In the afternoon, we glide through the barren Mirna Valley, where frost has painted the grass white. We look forward to the brewery's warmth and a nourishing meal after the freezing ride.

This car tour takes you from Buzet to the hidden gems of the Istrian hinterland. After a stroll through Buzet's old town, drive to the idyllic village of Kotli, where the Mirna River has carved turquoise pools into the rock. Visit Roč, an important historical center, and drive along the Glagolitic Alley to the legendary Hum, the world's smallest town. The route offers spectacular views of the hilly landscape and leads through dense forests where Istria's most valuable truffles grow. A perfect day for nature lovers and history buffs who want to see more than just the coast.

A rainy morning in Buzet with windshield wipers working in rhythm. At noon, we reach Kotli where the waterfalls roar impressively after the rain.

A clear, cold winter morning as we scrape ice from the windshield. At noon, we admire frozen Kotli where the water seems almost to stand still.
