Why it is worth your time
Žbevnica rises above the forests of the Ćićarija range in northern Istria. Marked trails lead through beech woods and mountain meadows to the summit, where Istria's green hills spread out towards the sea; in clear air the view stretches as far as the Alps.
Croatia Atlas tip
Visibility is best after a day of bora wind, when sea and mountains stand out razor-sharp.
