Adventure<br />

turn to Motovun of today, as it is a small town with<br />

a geographical position and strategic meaning that<br />

have provided a far richer history and a more famous<br />

present than its own physical limitations and realistic<br />

spatial dimensions would indicate.<br />

Joseph Russell, for example, the inventor of a boat<br />

propeller and author of many other patents, has<br />

Iz nekog razloga gradić na sebe stoljećima vezuje brojne<br />

spent a large portion of his work life in Motovun as a<br />

mitove i ezoterijska vjerovanja / Some curious reason has<br />

state manager of forests. It might be a good idea to<br />

attached numerous myths to the town over the centuries,<br />

connect that inspiration with the mentioned pheno-<br />

as well as numerous esoteric beliefs<br />

menons surrounding the town and its area. It is also<br />

pretty unfamiliar that Andrea Antico, inventor of the<br />

Jedan od mitova kaže kako su grad izgradili sami divovi /<br />

music press, was born in Motovun. It is obvious that this<br />

One of the myths says that the town was built solely by<br />

miniature town with grand giants has more significant<br />

giants<br />

historical people to boast with than merely Veli Jože.<br />

The inside parts of Istria are especially wondrous, and<br />

Motovun may as well be proclaimed their centre. Motovun<br />

can actually be observed as an ideal daytrip<br />

location. The closeness of wine roads and other picturesque<br />

locations, such as the Istrian Spa, Meadows<br />

and the Astronomical Observatory in Višnjan enable<br />

plenty of moments of enjoyment in active vacation,<br />

especially when we list all the “articles” that Motovun<br />

has to offer in that field. Tourism in Motovun likes to<br />

brag with many original activities, such as biking around<br />

the town and its area, picking grapefruits in Motovun’s<br />

vineyards in September, picking asparagus,<br />

collecting truffles, fishing in the river Mirna below the<br />

town, horseback riding in the natural ambience around<br />

Motovun, canoeing in the river during the summer,<br />

having dinner near the campfire in a natural ambience,<br />

going game hunting around Motovun, free<br />

climbing, paragliding and detouring the wine roads.<br />

A weekend in the inside parts of Istria will make you<br />

feel as if you were reborn. The impression of being<br />

devoid of stress and completely forgetting about business<br />

or other concerns and problems of the everyday<br />

life, as well as getting “high” on peace, is what<br />

is in common to a large number of people that have<br />

decided to spend their week-long vacations in Motovun.<br />

Serenity cannot be emphasized enough, as well<br />

as the good manners of the local people. It is a truly a<br />

“sweet escape” experience – a perfect corner where<br />

time stands still in the most possible way.<br />

These days, Motovun will get a little busier during its<br />

film festival, which originally assembled the alternative<br />

and enthusiasts, but has now grown into an overall<br />

mainstream occasion. The one thing that attracts the<br />

elite to the Motovun Film Festival is surely the unique<br />

feeling of equality among the participants and the<br />

audience, as well as among members of different social<br />

groups and classes. In other words, everyone’s the Boravak na ovakvim mjestima potiče duhovnost i kreati-<br />

same when they get to Motovun – there is no room vnost / Staying at such places encourages spirituality and<br />

for high heels and posers. They just do not fit into the creativity<br />

event’s concept. Everyone will become relaxed in a<br />

natural way in Motovun. Chronic parking problems, as<br />

well as the fact that Motovun still has only one hotel,<br />

cannot do anything to harm the impression of the instinctive,<br />

picturesque and beautiful in Motovun and<br />

around it – especially in spring and summer. As well<br />

as the undeniable fact that it’s always worth it to take<br />

this particular trip.<br />
