Geological Formations

Highlight • Natural Monument

After the waterfall, you can see geological formations formed by the rain. Unfortunately, the path has collapsed and requires a U-turn to reach the road to Gračišće.

September 16, 2024,Wanderrunde von Gračišće in Istrien / HR

Small, nice hike. Uphill on a road with practically no traffic (1 car). Down on a gravel path.
The Slap Sopot waterfall is worth seeing - although it doesn't have much water at the moment.
Gračišće is an old mountain village in the typical Istrian style with lots of light limestone. Delicious food in the Konoba! ☺️

Beautiful tour. Descent difficult due to rough rubble. Waterfall has no water when it is dry and in summer. With water it is very beautiful and recommended. Way back is very hot when the sun is shining.
