Mirna is the longest river in Istria with a length of more than 50 km. The importance of the river for this region is undisputed: from mills to transport, from sales to sports activities. Today the Mirna River flows through an artificially created river bed while being surrounded by a beautiful setting of forests, hills and towns. The source of the river is in a small village called Kotli.

Motovun Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

All tunnels on the Parenzana trail have (solar-powered) lights that turn on when you approach them. It's not mandatory, but it's helpful if you have your own lights for the longer tunnels such as this one near Motovun. This tunnel was one of the longest and a bit darker than the rest - lights will turn on as you approach them but you really have to step into the dark before they do.

Motovun Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Perched on the top of a hill, at an altitude of 277 m, Motovun (Montona) is a charming medieval village which overlooks the valley of the river Mirna and which still bears evident traces of the Venetian domination of the fourteenth century, starting from the double circle of mighty walls.

This little jewel is an unsuspected city of art and culture: art galleries and artists' studios give new life to the historic centre, while important cultural events attract a growing number of international visitors every year, such as the Motovun Film Festival.

St. Stephen's Church Bell Tower, Motovun

Highlight • Religious Site

The Baroque St. Stephen's Church in the mountain town of Motovun was built between 1580 and 1614, but it only acquired its current appearance at the end of the 18th century. The adjacent bell tower dates back to the 13th century. A look inside is also worthwhile.
