"Motovun ranch" not far from Brkać, west of Motovun, a place where you can have a great time at the riding school or set out together with the hosts on an expedition on horseback through the Mirna valley and surrounding area. Advance bookings can
be made at the Hotel Kaštel reception.

Kaldir, a place east of Motovun, on a hillside above the Mirna valley and hamlets that extend from Kaldir to the Mirna valley, is the most well known Istrian fruit-growing region, especially renowned for its pears. Spring transforms the entire Kaldir region into a flowery sea made up of tens of thousands of flowering fruit trees, with autumn bringing with it an abundance of fruits and flavours. However, winter in the Kaldir region is also interesting: this is the only parish in Istria which has, right up to present times, preserved the tradition “kolejana”. Kolejana are well-wishers who on the eve of the religious holiday Epiphany call on every house in the parish and wish everyone a good year with singing and collect gifts – wine, eggs and sausages.
