Drone panorama on historical Croatian town Motovun in Istria during daytime with clear sky and sunshine
Croatia, panorama of beautiful mediaeval town and fortress Motovun, located on the top of a high hill on Istrian peninsula. The city is famous for its local wineries and truffle forest
Very quite pedestrian village, which is accessible only by shuttle bus, just leave your car parked in the underneath car park, and explore this small hilly village on foot. Stumbled upon this village whilst driving towards Rovinj in Croatia.

Extremely difficult to break too. A closed town I’m in extreme Hill. Much more difficult to reach then anticipated.The parents on a trail is extremely difficult and in terrible condition. I recommended Momwi for mountain bikers. It is too dangerous
