WANDERING TO THE SUNSET

Koper is a jumping off point for exploring Istria. Your day can begin in the morning over a coffee in the city to accompany some local hroštole pastry, and can end with a dinner in the light of the full moon over the sea. Along the way, you can see:

the Karst margin – a picturesque area of natural features, where the typical Karst landscape merges into the Flysch of Istria.

the Overhangs (Spodmole) at Sočerga – a natural feature, also called the “Ears of Istria”, three large overhangs on a 28-metre high cliff;

the Osp Wall – a rock face in the village of Osp, a favourite location for climbers;

Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje – with its famous frescoes of a danse macabre dating from the 15th century;

Socerb Castle – the ruins of the castle on a clifftop looking out to the Bay of Koper house a restaurant.
