Pifari Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Wildly romantic bridge over the railway tracks. Here in the hinterland there is hardly any traffic and the nature is fantastic.

Statue of Saint Daniel in Bale

Highlight • Monument

It is a really nice old village.
Even if the good condition is probably due to the fact that there is an apartment for rent behind every second door.
But only because of this there are probably also the nice little cafes and restaurants in the courtyards.
In short it is worthwhile to take off your racing shoes and stroll through the alleys

Vodnjan–Fažana Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Asphalt is ok. Traffic is available. Probably also a matter of luck, as many people are on their way from the highway to Faszana.

Church of St. Michael, Žminj

Highlight • Religious Site

At the top of the hill on which Zminj is built is the parish church of Archangel Michael. Once surrounded by the mighty walls of the Zminj castle, the church and the 34 m high church tower from the 18th century now dominate the townscape of Zminj. The Carniolan frescoes in the Holy Trinity Chapel are worth seeing, as is the landmark of Zminj, the hackberry tree, which is located directly in front of the church on the church square.
