The 7 Waterfalls Trail between Buzet and Kotli in northern Istria is a popular hiking route that leads through a picturesque landscape with seven waterfalls. The trail is well marked and offers a varied hike along the Mirna River.
The best time to hike the 7 Waterfalls Trail is in spring or autumn, when temperatures are pleasant and the waterfalls have the most water. However, the trails can be very muddy or impassable after heavy rainfall.
The picturesque town of Kotli is a good starting point. From there, the trail leads along the Mirna to the seven waterfalls. The largest waterfall is the Sopot Waterfall, which is about 25 meters high.
The 7 Waterfalls Trail is a moderately difficult hike that is also suitable for families with children. However, there are some steep sections, so sturdy shoes are recommended!
Alternatively, the tour can also be started in Buzet. From there, you first follow the course of the Mirna for about 2 km until the actual circular trail begins.
