Krculi is located in the heart of the Istrian peninsula, near the welcoming town of Žminj. This place is a prime example of rural Istria, where agriculture and connection to the land still define daily life. The architecture is marked by the typical 'kažuni', small round stone huts that formerly provided shelter to shepherds. The region around Krculi is famous for its agrotourism. In local taverns (konobas), visitors can enjoy homemade pasta like fuži or pljukanci, served with Boškarin beef. The landscape has a mix of forest patches and fertile fields, handy for relaxed walks in the clean air. Due to its central location, Krculi is an excellent hub for cyclists. The village is part of a network of bike paths that lead through the green heart of Istria. Anyone seeking peace and wanting to get to know the roots of Istrian culture will immediately feel at home in the authentic atmosphere of Krculi.
