Aware of the 27 kilometres or about seven hours of walking ahead of us, we start the fourth stage of Camino South Istria, in one of the most beautiful places in the world, in the very south of Istria. Accompanied by the sound of waves, fresh air from the sea and the scent of the pine forest, we walk along the “Mala Kolumbarica” ​​beach on the southernmost tip of Istria and enjoy the view of the Porer lighthouse. We ascend to the nearby viewpoint on Kamenjak for an experience of timeless freedom that overlooks the open sea.                                                                                                         

We have to move on, and the Camino trail takes us along the coast of Cape Kamenjak in a half circle and back towards Premantura, with the Church of St. Lawrence and the magnificent bell tower that watches over the entire area. In a light walk along the trail that gently descends towards the sea, we follow the road all the way to the bridge that crosses a bay and leads us into the village of Pomer. Then we reach the interesting Church of St. Flor, a 6th century bishop of Pula. With an occasional break, we continue towards Medulin, surrounded by  peaceful and beautiful nature. Medulin reveals its attractions – Archaeological Park Vižula situated on the peninsula of the same name, then the nearby renovated Malin windmill, and in the very centre of the town the Church of Our Lady of Health and the Church of St. Agnes. Thanks to its two 33-metre high towers and its location on a hill, it is a unique church in Istria that is easily visible and recognizable and is an excellent landmark even from a distance.                                                                                                                                                      

This area in the very south of Istria is characterized by its mild Mediterranean climate, richly indented coast and numerous accommodation facilities. If we continue, we will reach the village of Ližnjan, with the Church of St. Martin, whose 30-metre bell tower watches over the entire village. Ližnjan’s calm atmosphere offers refuge at the end of another day of the Camino route.
