The Church of St. John the Baptist, built in 1736 and its bell tower, built in 1837 from stones of the ruined Benedictine Monastery of St. Michael “under Ground”. The 25-meter bell tower has two bells and the church is triple-nave.
After a short walk on asphalt, we re-enter the forest and agricultural landscapes, with viewpoints offering sweeping panoramas over western Istria — Višnjan, Gedići, Tar/Vabriga, Poreč, Novigrad and the endless blue of the Adriatic Sea.
A wide, clear trail soon leads to Parenzana, today known as the "path of health and friendship" and beloved by hikers and cyclists. Once a 123-km narrow-gauge railway (1902–1935), it connected Trieste and Poreč and was vital to the region’s development.
The route then passes through the Marviš Forest and descends toward the area Kolumbera, where farmland and small groves alternate, making the landscape very pleasant for walking. Nearby stand remnants of the Church of St. Michael “under Ground.”
We continue along wide paths, through deep forests all the way to Parenzana. After 2.5km along our most famous walk, we arrive in front of the Baredine Cave, the most famous and most visited cave in Istria — ideal for rest and refreshments. You can take a break in the café or restaurant, enjoy the children's playground or simply enjoy the greenery and wildlife surrounding the cave. A visit to the cave is highly recommended.
After the break, the route returns toward Labinci through forests, vineyards, and olive groves, on easy and pleasant terrain, with only gentle climbs. The path then reconnects with the field paths that lead towards Labinci. The place can be seen from afar, and the route ends where it began – at the Church of St. John the Baptist.
