The present-day settlement sits at a meeting of transport routes. Use it as your point of orientation, then turn towards the villages, valleys and mountain landscapes around it.
Small places. Wide horizons.
Discover Lupoglav and its surroundings, from the lanes of Boljun to the villages beneath Učka.
Do not expect every village to look alike. Lupoglav is a practical gateway; Boljun is the historic hilltop. Between them, the countryside opens towards Vranja, Brest pod Učkom and the quieter settlements of the municipality.
Lupoglav
A starting point, not a set piece.
Boljun
Stone, sky and a sense of time.
The medieval castle is the village’s anchor. Walk the lanes around it and look across the Boljunčica valley towards Učka. This is a place to explore slowly, with respect for the people who live here.

Closer to the mountain.
Vranja belongs to the landscape around Vela draga, while Brest pod Učkom brings you into the mountain’s rural setting. Plan a village stop alongside an appropriate marked walk, rather than treating the whole area as one continuous trail.
The quieter villages
Follow curiosity, not a checklist.
Dolenja Vas, Semić, Lesišćina and Boljunsko Polje complete the municipality’s patchwork of settlements. Keep to public roads and paths, leave access clear and remember that the countryside is also someone’s home.
