Motovun
Motovun / Montona
A medieval hilltop town above the Mirna Valley. Walking the walls offers views over a truffle forest, making it Istria's most beautiful hill town.
Motovun sits on a hilltop about 277 meters above sea level. Two complete rings of walls surround its Venetian-era bell tower, churches and stone houses. A walk around the wall path overlooks the vineyards and oak woods of the Mirna Valley. This forest is one of the world's best-known sources of white truffles. The restaurants in town are famous for truffle pasta and truffle omelets. The Motovun Film Festival takes place in late July. Park at the foot of the hill and either walk up or take the shuttle bus. It is about 45 km from Rovinj, or roughly 50 minutes by car.
