Croatian Istria is a region that truly has everything: incredible nature, clear sea, rich cultural heritage and indescribably good food and wine. And if you are a lover of untouched nature and love hiking, you should definitely visit the Path of the Seven Waterfalls, which impresses with its mystical beauty, at least once.

Seven Falls Trail is a real treat for lovers of unspoiled nature. It is a circular route that starts and ends in Buzet, and some of its parts pass through the playful riverbeds of the Mirna and Draga rivers, in which the water has created lakes, rapids and waterfalls.

Along the way, in addition to the seven waterfalls, you will visit several abandoned Istrian villages, come across the shafts of old coal mines, Napoleon's bridge and walk through an old restored village Kotli, Croatian Pamukkale, which has become a popular excursion spot in recent years. There is also a restaurant in Kotli where you can take a break, eat and drink before continuing.

The total length of the Seven Waterfalls Trail is 13.5 kilometers, for a tour without stopping, around five hours will be enough. The route is ideal for both active and slightly less active hikers. The most difficult parts are secured with ropes that make the ascent easier, so even those in average condition will be able to cross them.

Wear appropriate footwear and enjoy the unforgettable scenes that nature has prepared for you!

Hint: select this point as the starting point, and then follow the signs. (Croatia, Buzet, parking lot next to the Istrian water supply)
