About Žminj Tourist Board

The heart of Istria. That is exactly what Žminj is, a small town in central Istria that is almost at equal distance from all the bigger coastal towns as well as from those in the heartland of Istria – Pula, Rovinj, Pazin, Poreč, Labin and magical Istrian beaches. Located on the hill above the Istrian forest it keeps its authenticity and provides a true and unique experience of this magical peninsula. Žminj truly values its traditions, starting from its specific dialect that has also been enlisted as a part of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage. And no, it is not a dialect that is dying out. It’s a living language with which every resident of Žminj will delight you. Many traditions are still alive and are a part of everyday life of people in Žminj and therefore many nearby villages offer not only peace and quiet but a true experience of a real rural tourism. Here you will most definitely taste the authentic Istrian cuisine – starting from the delicious pasta to various sweets like The crown of Christ also called Gentleman’s cake or pinca in Easter time. Žminj’s restaurants, agricultural holdings and taverns offer traditional dishes and you can always find homemade Istrian sausage, sauerkraut with mutton, tripes, maneštra (vegetable soup sometimes served with sausages), fuži or makaruni (type of local pasta) with different thick sauces and many other dishes of Istrian cuisine on the menu. Those who are eager to spend time in nature and have an active vacation can set off to one of many cycling and walking routes that lead you through many old farm paths, puddles, chapels and old churches. On every step that you take you will discover something new – that is why Žminj is an ideal place for all those who love nature, tradition and good food.
