Brt-o-nigla is not on a typical tourist front line but has a bits of typical Istrian charm.The whole peninsula is your playground even more if with hired wheels.See everything around...start with Buje,Groznjan,Motovun.In Slovenia check Piran,rolling hills between Koper and Croatian border...Skocjan or Postojna caves.

Italian border is unmanned/abandoned making Slovenia,European Union migration wall but getting to/from it is absolutely friction free.

thanks so much. So there isn%26#39;t much to do in Brtonigla? We do have wheels. Any idea about the time to get to some of these places. Which should be higher on the list? thanks again

I like the idea of Postojna.. a neat cave!

Also near Postojna is a castle called Predjama... another nice place to visit and its only a few km from Postojna.

Viamichelin says that the trip from Brtonigla to Postojna is just 86 km.

Do I take it that you are staying in Brtonigla? We were there a couple of weeks ago. Hardly a town, more a sleepy village. It%26#39;s claim to fame is Hotel San Rocco (perhaps you are staying there) with it%26#39;s well known restaurant. If you have a car then there%26#39;s plenty of interesting places to see around. My suggestions would be Groznjan, Motovun (very touristy but well worth it for the views)and Rovinj further South but a must IMO, and perfectly doable with a car. Can%26#39;t give you advice on entering and leaving Slovenia as we haven%26#39;t done it for some time. In fact there are lots of places but these 3 would be my first choices. Depends on how long you are staying and when.

To answer your 2nd query - No, I think not a lot to do in Brtonigla

|||

yes, we are staying at the san rocco. plan on doing a few of the trips commented on here and thanks, i will have to do some searching on driving times. Thanks so much, any other suggestions? are there any other places to eat in brotonigla? besides the famous restuarant?
