Enjoy the dramatic views of the Učka mountain range, as Lazarići sits right at its verdant foothills.
Visit the ruins of Kožljak Castle nearby for a striking view of the Čepić field without any tourist crowds.
Drive to Poklon Pass (25 mins away) and hike to Vojak, the highest peak in Istria (1401m), for a 360-degree view.
Head to the nearby town of Labin (10-15 mins) for supermarkets, ATMs, and the local daily market.
The small backroads connecting Lazarići to Čambarelići are virtually car-free and well-suited for a scenic bike ride.
