Fairytale landscape with white country roads and paths that are slowly turning into walking and biking trails provides an extra offer to all those visitors who wish to see the nature in its full scale.<\/p>\n<p>Wonderful viewpoints, including the Stari Dragu\u0107 as the highest peak of central Istria (503 m), each carry rich history, and the view from them has never left anyone indifferent.<\/p>\n<h3>Different peoples, different cultures<\/h3>\n<p>Very few areas can claim such a rich and valuable cultural and historical heritage like that of the Municipality of Cerovlje. This particular area was where the border line between Venetian and Austrian lands was located so it saw constant migration of the population caused by various factors.<\/p>\n<p>Migrations of various peoples, different cultures and border conflicts all affected the rich cultural heritage we can find in these parts today.<br \/>\nOld castles in Paz, Gradinje, Posrt and Belaj bear witness to that, as well as beatuful architecture and frescos in Dragu\u0107, the writing by Mikula Gologori\u010dki i \u201eIstarski razvod\u201c \u2013 the oldest legal and travels text written in Glagolitic alphabet, tombstones (steles) of the Roman family Labien from 2nd century B.C., and also the large number of churches and chapels that dominate the landscape from the surrounding hilltops.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-164\" src=\"http:\/\/lag-sredisnjaistra.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/grimalda_cerovlje.2r.jpg\" alt=\"grimalda_cerovlje.2r\" width=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lag-sredisnjaistra.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/grimalda_cerovlje.2r.jpg 470w, https:\/\/lag-sredisnjaistra.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/grimalda_cerovlje.2r-300x268.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Natural features have always been the cause of uniqueness of this area. Remoteness and isolation were the reason why Rome had a weak influence on this distant corner of the province. Impassable ravines in the east, strengthened by carefully positioned defensive fortifications (Gradina, Paz, \u0160abec, later Belaj, Posrt) in middle ages made an unconquerable border with which the Istrian Margrave protected his area. Slow arrival of all the changes of modern civilization to the remote villages, which up until recently did not even have quality roads, affected the depopulation and complete abandonment of some villages, but also the preservation of numerous ethnological particularities and the way of life which are in other part of Istria already long forgotten.
