Tips for visiting

Rabac
Rabac is the most important tourist centre on the eastern coast of the Istrian peninsula located only five kilometres from Labin. It is also called the "pearl of Kvarner".

Sentona's Trail
This trail, almost two and a half kilometres long, stretches along the main road along the entire length of Rabac, at the foot of the old town, all the way to the Maslinica Cove in Rabac Bay. It abounds in streams and rapids, and the biggest attractions are the multi-meter waterfalls that overflow over the winding travertine barriers.

Raša
Raša is the youngest town in Istria, and whose history begins in the 1930s. The town was built for the needs of miners and mining in the valley of the Krapna stream. In this new town, workers' houses along two parallel streets meet in the square with a church in the shape of an inverted wagon and a bell tower like a mining lamp.

ARSIA Mining House
The rich heritage of mining life is authentically displayed in the Arsia Centre, a small mining museum. The museum is located on Raška Square and directly offers the visitor a unique experience of the former work and life of Raška miners.

Dubrova Sculpture Park
One of the most beautiful Croatian sculpture parks offers unique moments of art and nature in an open gallery which covers 33 hectares and is partly surrounded by a dry-stone wall, with natural valleys and rich and diverse characteristic Mediterranean flora.

Bike trails
The Labin region abounds in bike trails. Some of the most interesting are Bella Vista, Teran, Bistrooka, Istarski razvod and Liburnia.

• The Mine Tour project addresses the challenge of the untapped tourist potential of a mining heritage. The Šoht cultural monument in Labin and the natural monument of the Sitarjevec mine in Litija (Slovenia) are connected by a cross-border connection and a common mining past. As part of the project, a tourist itinerary was developed that connects the mining heritage of both cities. www.mine-tour.eu.
