On our way back from our four-day trip to Istria (camp Mon Perin), we decided to stop and explore one of the smaller trails near the Lim Channel.

The Lim Channel is part of the 35-kilometer-long Lim Valley, which almost reaches Pazin, in the center of Istria. The channel is 12 kilometers long, and steep hills rise on both sides, some up to 200 meters high.

Although many call it a fjord, the Lim Channel is a submerged karst canyon. Once upon a time, the imposing sea bay was a valley through which the Pazinčica River flowed, running to the sea. Turbulent geological history has run its course – the sea penetrated the valley and completely changed the landscape.

It is a nice two-hour walk from the end of the Lim Bay, uphill to the top of its cliffs, and then around through the magical Istrian landscape.

The path is steep and wet initially, but once you climb up (about 15 minutes), an enjoyable and easy walk through meadows and olive groves follows. Ideal for a relaxing weekend!
