St. Stephen's Church Bell Tower, Motovun

Highlight • Religious Site

The Baroque St. Stephen's Church in the mountain town of Motovun was built between 1580 and 1614, but it only acquired its current appearance at the end of the 18th century. The adjacent bell tower dates back to the 13th century. A look inside is also worthwhile.

Historic steps up to Motovun

Highlight • Trail

You can park at the bottom of Motovun and then wonderfully follow the old paths all the way to the top. The way is not far and definitely worth it. I would definitely take the old ways and not go up via the road. In my opinion, the shuttle bus is not necessary if you are good on foot. The circular route from the petrol station down in the village to the top and back is only about 3km long.

June 17, 2025,Motovun – Treppe mit Aussicht Runde von Motovun

A wonderful and varied hike through forest and meadows to the charming mountain village of Motovun. It only takes about an hour to get there, making it perfect for children. After the first right turn, just watch out for nettles and prickly plants, as the path is narrow. The restaurants in Motovun are rather expensive, with few child-friendly dishes—although they …
