Cave of Pazin
In the centre of Istria, just a short drive from Umag, is Pazin, a city of astonishing natural splendour. Near the centre of town is the Cave of Pazin, which is one of the more memorable natural sites in Croatia. The cave and surrounding extraordinary scenery has inspired many famous authors, most notably French writer Jules Verne for his novel "Mathias Sandorf."
Brijuni
The Brijuni Archipelago in the southern part of Istria consists of 14 islands of amazing beauty. Brijuni is home to Istria's only national park and is filled with famous archaeological sites. With numerous plant and animal species and breathtaking views, Brijuni is a must-see for the traveller interested in nature and history.

With hundreds of waterfalls and many different plant and animal species found in the area, the Plitvice Lakes are visited each year by thousands of tourists. It truly is a beauty that you will remember forever.
