The coast is a very popular place for walking. Follow the paved seafront promenade all the way to the Umag city centre. Along the way you will find splendid views of the Adriatic Sea. The promenade is a perfect way to see the sights of Umag, all while getting exercise.
Umag's surrounding cities and towns are also favourable for walking. Buje, Motovun and Novigrad are scenic towns in Istria, best enjoyed by walking their historic grounds. That way you can experience the unique cultures and sights at your own leisure.
For a more demanding hike, visit Ucka Mountan and nature park just a short distance from Umag. Located in the most eastern part of Istria, Ucka reaches a summit of 1.400 meters, the highest point in the region. Follow marked trails or the paved road to reach the peak. There you will find the most magnificent views of Istria to the west. On clear days, the Alps are visible to the north. Be sure to bring a camera so you can have a permanent reminder of the natural beauty of Croatia.
Walking and hiking are perfect ways to spend active holidays in Croatia. Not only can you experience the history and unmatched beauty of Istria, but be active doing it.
Motovun is a must-see pictoresque town in northern Istria
