The Istria Peninsula in northern Croatia is a hidden gem which feels a world away from the well-touristed Adriatic coast to the south.
With spectacular, diverse scenery of lush green forested hills and limestone mountain peaks, vineyards and olive groves, meandering rivers, untouched stone villages and medieval hilltop towns, the region offers rich rewards for those who like to trek away from the crowds.
Following the Istria Mountain Trail across the peninsula, you’ll trek from the wooded hills around Buzet east into Učka National Park, where you’ll crest three mountain peaks, culminating in fabulous views over the entire region from the rocky summit of Mount Učka.
As a valued member of Team Ability, we’ll be behind you all the way. You’ll receive a Designability t-shirt, a dedicated contact who can support you with fundraising, and regular emails to keep you motivated!
You’ll be accompanied by our partners, Discover Adventure, who specialise in worldwide cycling and trekking, with charity fundraising at its heart. They are a dedicated team of friendly staff and experienced leaders who are passionate about the outdoors and helping others achieve their goals.
