Pazin

Gorge town

Pazin

Istria’s administrative capital Pazin nestles in a bowl of hills in the centre of the peninsula. The centre of town huddles around the edge of the deep Pazin Gorge (Pazinska jama), where the River Fojba emerges from limestone cliffs.

A nature trail leads down into the gorge from its southern lip; there is also a zip-line that provides an exhilarating ride from one side of the gorge to another. Overlooking the gorge is Pazin Castle, home to the Istria Ethnographic Museum’s absorbing display of local costumes and crafts.
