Hrboki is a characterful settlement in the municipality of Barban, in the southeastern part of the Istrian peninsula. The village is situated on an elevation and provides a wonderful view of the Raša channel and the Kvarner Bay on clear days. Hrboki has preserved its traditional character with stone houses and a relaxed way of life. The surroundings of Hrboki are well-suited for outdoor activities. There are numerous forest paths inviting for hiking, running, and cycling. Nearby is the Blaz Bay, known for its old mills and freshwater springs right by the sea. Horse riding enthusiasts will also find opportunities in the Barban region, as the town is famous for its traditional knightly game 'Trka na prstenac'. Culinary-wise, Hrboki features the best treasures of Istria. Local farms sell olive oil, honey, and the famous Istrian ham. The coast with the beaches of Rabac or the bays of Marčana is reachable in about 15 to 20 minutes. Hrboki is the great place for travelers looking for the authentic soul of Istria away from the tourist hotspots.
