Church of the Assumption of Mary (Hum)

Highlight • Religious Site

Medieval walls and classicist symmetry on the outside, baroque treasure chest on the inside - the single-nave parish church of the Assumption of Mary (Marijino Uznesenje) combines charming contrasts from several centuries. Although it was built on the foundations of a church from the 13th century in 1802, i.e. during the Classicism era, it is often referred to in travel guides as a baroque church, probably because of its "interior" with the five lavishly decorated marble altars and the beautiful sacristy and the precious paintings - the apse painting by the Venetian painter Baldessare d'Anna from the year 1600, which gave the church its name: “Assumption of Mary”, deserves a special mention. (In the 16th and 17th centuries, Hum was under Venetian rule)

Town Gate of Vrbnik

Highlight • Monument

The gate, which was redesigned in the 1980s, can block access to the town, which only has around 10 houses.
Apparently the residents are interested in tourism. Next to the church there are some restaurants and shops with regional offerings. Samples will be offered.
Parking costs €2.00 per car. The fee acts like an entry fee.

Hum – The Smallest Town in the World

Highlight • Settlement

Be sure to try the Istrian red wine soup in the Humska konoba. A poem, but the car should stop after that.

Benčići Village

Highlight • Settlement

A total of 13 original houses will be rebuilt here over the next 5 years. Then families with children should move in there. In addition, Benčići is absolutely idyllic. You can already see part of the result in the pictures.

Kotli Watermill and Pools

Highlight • Waterfall

Kotli, a village that got its name because of the depressions that the Mirna river made in the rocks. There awaits us the fifth waterfall and the remains of the former mill.

A very beautiful circular hike from Hum to Kotli. The so-called "ghost villages" are being diligently and stylishly renovated.

I found the tour just mediocre. The villages of Bencici and Kotli have just been nicely restored and are nice to look at, and of course Hum was also very idyllic. The way from village to village was a bit monotonous except for the water crossings 😀
