THE OTHER SIDE OF ISTRIA

Less rushing.More remembering.

There is another way to discover Istria. Start with a village lane, follow the shape of a valley, and leave an afternoon open. In Lupoglav, the landscape is not a backdrop. It sets the pace.

Boljun
A VILLAGE, A VALLEY, A DIFFERENT PACE

Boljun. A view worth lingering over.

Above the Boljunčica valley, a small medieval settlement holds a castle, quiet lanes and a wide-open horizon. Arrive without a checklist. Give the stone, the light and the view a little time.
