    Wonderful park to visit while in Istria region. We also loved the views from Vojak where you can see Adriatic sea, Alps and Venice in good weather. The hike was not very challenging, steep in few places but rather easy. We visited in High season but it wasn't overcrowded.

    The Učka mountain with it's ethereal view looking at the Opatija Riviera has left a place in my heart and I will remember it! As you see, I visited it when it was all covered in snow, it is not as good as I thought but it is still beautiful to see. But, don't take me for my word cause I haven't visited the whole place around there. If you are...

    Nice nature park to reconnect with nature nearby Opatija. There are several trails to choose based on our levels. We went to the medium trails and then tried the children educational trail - nice forest. The parking space was not too spacious but when we arrived at 11am on a Wednesday, it was not crowded at all.

    Amazing place to visit in summer or in winter. Perfect for hiking and walking. Spectacular view of Adriatic sea i.e.Kvarner bay and even further. From Vojak (1401 m) whole Istra can be observed and even beyond up to Italian and Slovenian alps if the weather is good. The pathways are appropriate for walking or even biking and are well marked....
