View of Butoniga Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

For Istria it is the most important drinking water production plant in the otherwise most sensitive region of Croatia for water shortages. With an area of about 718 km², it is the largest surface water system in Istria.

Lake Butoniga

Highlight • Lake

The reservoir is completely fenced. You can't get to the water, nor to the dam wall. The paths leading past the lake are closed for cyclists and pedestrians. The vantage point above is the better alternative.

Sopot Waterfall and Cave Swimming Area

Highlight • Waterfall

Do not miss, from the south side you can enter the cave under the waterfall with dry feet. The crossing of the river (if you are on the wrong side) is only possible with wet feet at normal water levels.
