Glavani Park

If you are seeking an interesting, fun-filled and enjoyable day out while in beautiful Istria, look no further than this adventure for the whole family. At Glavani Park near Barban in Istria, you will find the largest high-ropes climbing course in Croatia. We also have an amazing 11 metre high swing, 12 metre high professional climbing wall, 20 metre high quickjump and the absolute best...the human slingshot, 0 - 100km per hour in one second horizontal catapult. It is utterly awesome and, surprisingly, not at all scary! Also we have free wooden walkways for the small children, a mini excavator to play on and an animal park for everyone to see our goats and chickens, dogs and cats.

Truffle Hunting

Reviewed By sophiavennix

Nikola and his dogs were a lot of fun - I would totally recommend this if you want a unique learning experience during your trip to Croatia! My husband and I went to Croatia on our honeymoon. We stayed in Motovun, and met Nikola in Livade, a small town nearby. Livade is a small, quiet town, so it was super easy to get there by car and find a parking spot. He picked us up and we drove 2 mins down the street to the woods. We walked around the woods with Nikola and his dogs, while he told us all about how he truffle hunts for a living. He's a really nice guy, and will teach you everything you need to know about truffles. He also was in the New York Times! All of the restaurant owners in town know who he is, so at the end of the tour, he brought us into Zigante Tartufi (a Michelin truffle restaurant) to get us a discount for a truffle tasting during our trip! This season was apparently not a great season for hunting due to weather. However, on our hunt we found multiple truffles, one being pretty large! Overall, we learned a lot from Nikola. Be prepared with boots and clothes that can dirty - we were not. You probably won't do any digging, but you'll get muddy from walking through the woods. :)
