  • Route: Zrenj – Jakusi – Markovići – Čepić – Šterna – Sv. Ivan – Oprtalj – Sv. Lucija – Laganiši – Žnjidarići – Zrenj

The starting point of this trail is in the village of Zrenj, from where you set off in the direction of Oprtalj. After 3 km the trail will bring you to Jakusi. Continue through the villages of Markovići and Čepić all the way to Šterna. Here, after one kilometer riding on asphalt, you will change onto a macadam road that leads to Sv. Ivan. From there you go along a forest path towards Oprtalj, and, when you reach an intersection with an asphalted road, turn left. When you get close to Oprtalj, turn towards Sv. Lucija and go through Laganiši, all the way to the village of Žnjidarići. Here you continue on the macadam road towards Čabrnica and return to the starting point in Zrenj.

What to visit on the way?

  • Medieval Oprtalj: a row of cypress trees, a historic lodge, a labyrinth of city streets and the church of St. Mary, known for its frescoes.  

  • Excellent agrotourism in the village of Čabrnica, offering traditional dishes and game

  • The settlement of Šterna, in the past known as "the cistern of Grožnjan" because of the inexhaustible source of drinking water with which you can refresh yourself (the source is right next to the parish church of St. Mihovil)

  • The Istrian desert of Piski near Šterna
