THE TRAIL OF ST. JUSTUS
Labin › Gondolići › Rabac
Choose the Trail of St. Justus and enjoy time travel. The spirit of antiquity and mysticism will call you in order to discover the magic and beauty of the old town of Labin. Located on a hill, at 320 m above the sea, the town patiently waits to be discovered. The town is dominated by the beautiful buildings preserved from Venetian time: the town gate San Fior, the log-gia, the palaces Franković, Manzini, Scampicchio, Negri and Battiala - Laz-zarini (the Public Museum of Labin). The Museum will enchant you with its unique model of a mine in this part of Europe, which takes you back to the mining history of Labin and its surroundings.
Walk down Aleja Velikana and over the pine forest (Pineta) till you reach the point where the trail continues to Gondolići. Stop near the 13th centu-ry Romanesque church of St. Gal, or visit the remains of the church of St. Anthony, located on the hill of the same name.
Descending to Rabac enjoy the magic of green and alluring scent of Med-iterranean herbs joined with crystal clear water.
TERRA MAGICA TRAIL
Rabac › Prtlog › Gondolići › Rabac
Your adventure begins in Maslinica bay, which used to be called Tihina and where people from the surrounding villages grew olives. Finding a quiet harbor stands as a desire and need of every man, so head to Teleferika- former cable car and the port for the transport of bauxite, which offers a breathtaking view of Rabac.
Continue along the shore to Remac bay, and then to cape Sv. Juraj.
After Seničina bay, you’ll come to Prtlog, the place which served as the main port of Labin during Antiquity, medieval and Venetian period, and where the galleys docked at that time.
On your way you’ll see the remains of an old oil mill (toš in the local dialect) used for olive oil production, and only five minutes from the trail there’re ruins of a lime kiln, once used for making lime.
Instead of galleys, today in the port Prtlog there are boats of local people and you’ll come to the small old bauxite transport harbor.
From Prtlog bay the trail takes you to Gondolići from where you’ll return to Rabac.

Climb up the old town of Labin runs through the most beautiful pro-tected natural landscape in Labin area. The springs Vrućak and Blažićevo are lo-cated in next to the large waterfall, and streams will follow you on your way up.
Pećina stream waterfalls overflow through the winding tuff barriers, and the mysterious Negri cave hides a well. In just a few minutes from the trail, on an old path that once connecting Labin and Rabac stand the ruins of the Roman-esque church of St. Hadrian (12th / 13th century).
Šćurak well in Podvinje under the city walls served as the main town, while its surroundings was a large urban garden to which women wore water in heavy buckets (brente in the local dialect).
The water supply network was brought to Labin in 1937 when the town foun-tain was built on the San Marco promenade.

In just a few minutes from the trail, on an old path that once connecting La-bin and Rabac stand the ruins of the Romanesque church of St. Hadrian (12th / 13th century). The spring water was once used to run an old mill whose ru-ins stand near the largest waterfall that pours into the turquoise lake in the stream valley in Maslinica bay.
Welcome to Rabac - ‘The Pearl of Kvarner’, proud of the most beautiful beach-es in Istria and the crystal clear sea.
BELLAVISTA TRAIL
Rabac › Ripenda Kosi › Standar › Rabac
Welcome to Bellavista Trail in Rabac that leads you over the seafront, St. An-drea peninsula and the village Ripenda Kosi to 474 m high Standar, offering a unique view from the plateau with several archeological sites. Placing stone on stone, throughout history people have learned to raise hill forts used for housing and defense, and tumuli (mounds of earth and stones from the pre-historic era that were raised over the graves).
The awe-inspiring old dry stone walls stand as history guardians wanting to tell a long-told story. They were constructed at a time when man began to cul-tivate the land and fence it using stone from the earth, and served to delimit areas. Placing stones in rows without any mortar is the oldest way of building in the entire Mediterranean area, as well as in Istria.
Stunning views on one side spread over the blue sea and the neighboring is-lands of Cres and Lošinj, and in good weather all the way to mount Velebit, while looking on the other side you’ll discover the mysticism of the bell towers in old medieval towns (Labin, Pićan, Gračišće).
Allured by the view and magical scents of Mediterranean herbs you descend through the village Ripenda Vicani to Gornji Rabac and Rabac.

THE TRAIL OF ST. BARBARA

Start with Labin Old town sightseeing and discover the beautiful buildings preserved from Venetian time.
Full of impressions, head to Raša in search of new discoveries. The trail passes next to ‘Karlota’, a quarry and one of the mine shafts, introducing you the arrival in the mining town.
Like a calming scenery setting, Raša will charm you with its regular lines of houses, immersed in the landscape of Raša valley, which seem almost unreal. Designed by the architect Pulitzer Finali, Raša was built in 1937 as modern city for the needs of miners and their families with all necessary facilities (school, hospital and cinema) and a church dedicated to the pa-troness of miners St. Barbara, built in the shape of an overturned coal wag-on, with its bell tower resembling a miner’s lamp.
Even though mining activities in this area finished a long time ago, traces of mining history can be found in the church of St. Barbara, which houses a beautiful collection of mining artifacts. Till your next hike we salute with the traditional miners’ greeting- Good luck!
