  • Route: Umag (Katoro) – Murine – Kmeti – Buščina – Farnažine – Vardica – Juricani – Čepljani    – Lovrečica – Špina – Katoro

The starting point is the tourist settlement of Katoro from where you turn right onto the main road. After 0.5 km, turn left towards the village of Murina. At 2.0 km you reach an intersection where you turn right and drive approximately 400 m to the pub in Murina. Before the pub, turn left and continue the winding ascent through the village, until you reach the fork that leads onto the main road at 3.7 km, and there you turn left. After a short drive through Sarbarica, you will reach the village of Kmeti and Sv. Marija na Krasu, then turn right through the village of Koršija towards Buščina.
Keep straight on as far as the pub in Buščina, where you turn right onto a minor road and continue through the village of Farnažine. At 10 km, turn left towards the village of Vardica and drive straight to Juricani, where you turn right onto the main road. After a short drive on the main road, turn left towards the Wine routes and Olive oil routes. At 13.9 km, turn right onto the minor road that takes you through the villages of Čepljani and Zakinji. When you reach 15.5 km, turn left onto the minor road to the village of Babići. Continue straight to the village of Skrinjari, where you should turn right at the intersection towards Lovrečica. Drive through Lovrečica, and, on exiting the village, turn left onto the main road to Umag.
From the main road, close to the Finida Camp, turn left into the settlement of Sveti Ivan and ride along the road by the sea towards Zlatorog. At 22.4 km you will reach the little church of St. Pelegrin, right next to the sea, where you turn right toward the village of Špina. You will soon arrive at the main road that leads to the centre of Umag. To return to Katoro, use the coastal promenade that passes near the marina and through the tourist resorts of Punta and Stella Maris.

  • The pubs in Buščina and Petrovija which offer traditional Istrian cuisine with domestic specialties, including truffles, wild asparagus and Istrian beef (you have to book beforehand)
