If you are an adrenaline type, Istria County is an ideal destination for you. Discover all attractive locations from another angle, with a constant sense of excitement. From the air, sea, or land - there is plenty to choose from.

In fact, on second thought, be sure to take someone with you who may not have tried exploring caves, kite flying, or a cycling adventure before, because you only live once, right?

For water adventure fans, Istria offers numerous water parks. Spice up the magical water journey with an underwater trip to the fascinating world of the Istrian coast, to the world of coral and the majestic sea world. If you prefer air to sea, head towards Novigrad where you can try base jumping, or towards Vrsar, where you can try skydiving.

When you dry yourself off and dress up, sit on your bike and join in on the Parenzana, t. The queen of bike paths. Built on the foundations of the old railway that once connected Poreč, on the west coast of Istria, with Trieste in Italy. For those seeking a more quiet experience, there are plenty of electric bicycles for rent. It will be easier to overcome downhill trails. Make sure to bring a battery replacement with you for your e-bike and get down a few times. Stop for a moment in Pazin to try the zip-line. Or for those feeling more adventurous, jump tied with a rope into a free fall above Pazin Cave looking over on the medieval castle on top of a rock. You do not want to look into the Cave.

Depending on whether you are a professional or recreational hiker, you will need to adjust the pace, but you will surely find yourselves on one of the hundreds of hiking trails.
