    Hiking

    High above the hills of Istria lies the small medieval town of Grožnjan, known as the "village of artists." Between narrow streets, stone houses, and breathtaking views of the Mirna Valley, over 30 studios, galleries, and workshops are now hidden.

    In summer, music festivals, exhibitions, and concerts fill the streets with life. But even off-season, Grožnjan enchants with its quiet, authentic atmosphere and romantic flair.

    But the narrow stone streets also tell of a turbulent past: During World War II, Grožnjan was an important base for the Istrian partisans who fought here for freedom and independence.

    Grožnjan is a Croatian municipality of 736 inhabitants, in the Istrian region; its ancient name was Graeciniana, probably deriving from the rocky hill on which it is located. According to the 2011 census data, it is the only municipality in Croatia where the majority of the population is native Italian speakers.
