09MOMJAN MUSCAT TRAIL

Photo gallery


Start in Buje (football field) to Bibali and take the unpaved road through Kruge and Smilovići to Momjan. From Momjan descent to the valley pass the medieval castle and turn right towards Škarijevac; continue through Brdo and Kučibreg to Dugo Brdo, and then descend to Vrnjaki and Marušići. From Marušići following the edge of the forest Kornarija arrive to Sv. Florijan, Tribani, and carry on to the starting point in Buje.

On this route you will get to know the gentle green hills of central Istria, covered with forests, vineyards and olive groves, and ride through typical Istrian villages with picturesque stone houses. The central part of this route is Momjan and the small river Arđila in the nearby valley. We will visit the ruins of the medieval castle of Momjan and the wine cellar Kabola where you can taste the famous Moscato from Momjan.
From the hill tops you can admire the magnificent view with the Istrian inland on one side and of the Slovenian coast on the other. We recommend taverns Stari podrum and Rino in Momjan, as well as restaurant Marino and tavern Pjero in Kremenje with truffle-based specialties and traditional cuisine.
