GRACISCE - PICAN - protected landscape (1973.)
The
magnificent view spreading from these two medieval towns settled
on the hilltops circles almost the whole of Central Istria. The
towns are coupled (or divided) by a protected landscape of 570
ha. of appealing features.
The diversified ground foundation - marl and limestone - has
caused a phenomenon of unusually indented landscape: the brook
banks have been formed within the marly rocks, while gentle hills
with their tops having been built of limestone dominate the
scenery. The harmony of agricultural surfaces and autochthonal
forest vegetation has been interlaced with the addition of
numerous cultural-historical monuments of typical architecture of
the region. The whole area of this landscape has been crossed by
an interestingly designed rambling foothpath.
