| mountainous Istria |
Away from the coast of Istria there
are a few high mountains, and many interesting hiking trails,
scattered among small villages in the mountains, they are not famous at all, but
well worth a detour.
1. Near Pazin at the center of Istria is
this karst river, forming a few water falls and pools along its course, then vanished,
disappeared into a cave under the town.

There is an easy walk along the river, and
a guided tour of the cave.

2. At northeast Istria near Lupoglav, the
Vela Draga Canyon is well worth a visit.

The view from the top is good, but
from the bottom is fantastic, this requires steady feet to walk down a not well
maintained steep stony path down, also a great rock climbing area.
