Motovun Forest stretches along the valley of the River Mirna and is the best-known site for finding truffles, subterranean fungi, which are claimed to have aphrodisiac qualities. It is the habitat of the largest and most prized of all truffles – the white truffle. The Istrian white truffle is known for its unique taste and exquisite aroma owing to specific local climatic conditions.

Nearby are the thermal springs of Istarske toplice, a spa rich in healing spring waters.
