Å kropeti: Hotels and Accommodations

Å kropeti can be explored particularly through its Church of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac. It was built from 1999 to 2010 and consecrated on May 7, 2010. Its altar contains relics of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac. The church features stained-glass windows as well as a design with a portico and bell tower; its architecture reflects historical ecclesiastical features of Istria.

Culture

Four stained-glass windows depict Saint Maurus, Blessed Miroslav Bulešić, Saint John Paul II, and Mother Teresa. The design of most architectural elements was inspired by the Euphrasian Basilica. The church originated from an initiative by the residents of Škropeti and was built through the joint work of local residents. Its organ has two manuals and a pedal.

Nature and Trails

An official road cycling route through Istria passes through Å kropeti. In the surroundings of the village, the Montreo Trail (718) is described as a circular hiking trail. Sopajac, described as the largest and deepest doline in Istria, is also located near Å kropeti. Reaching its bottom is difficult because of the rugged terrain and vegetation.
