Traditionally, on Antonja, i.e. St. Anton’s Day on January 17 begins the craziest season - the carnival season. The fifth season, as it is called, is a tradition of Istrian, Kvarner and Primorje regions.

The tradition of carnival (called poklade or mesopust in the local dialects) in Labin is preserved by the carnival association Labinjonska kompanija - domoća folšarija that will take over Labin town keys and introduce its government.

Along with the main carnival parade in Labin for adults and children, as well as numerous village carnival fests across the Labin area, the carnival rule lasts until February 25, when the doll Pust is traditionally burned, found guilty for all the bad things in the past period and announcing the arrival of spring.

Winter signs have already knocked at our doors. When most of the continents are trapped in the ice and snow, we invite you to the Choco & wine Fest and the Brtonigla Adventure Trekk in the picturesque Istrian town Brtonigla!

Discover Istrian hidden treasures of untouched nature, enjoy the landscape around the river Mirna, run through the woods, rich vineyard and olive grove, walk up the hills and meet small medieval towns which offer unforgettable views from mountain Učka to the Adriatic Sea!

Trekking race is a trail run race with elements of orientation. It is very popular in Croatia and Slovenia. The configuration of terrain is as same as for the trail run race, except for the lane that is not market. There are only control points marked on the map. A competitor receives a map with control points and chooses by himself the fastest way to reach them. In principle, orientation is very simple.
