Quick facts about the Municipality of Mošćenička Draga
Sipar Beach is several hundred metres long. Its sand was brought by the Mošćenička Draga stream, and the pebbles were shaped by the sea waves. Senjavac Beach is a naturist beach behind Sv. Ivan Beach. In the coastal area, you can explore the underwater world while diving with local diving clubs. A small harbour in Mošćenička Draga is used by fishing boats and smaller watercraft. Inland, the historic and mythological Trebišća–Perun trail passes through preserved hamlets in the Potoška vala gorge to the 880-metre-high summit of Perun.
What coastal experiences define the region?
The Mošćenička Draga stream brought the sand, and the sea waves shaped the pebbles. At several hundred metres long, Sipar is a different kind of beach destination from Senjavac, which is a naturist beach behind Sv. Ivan. If you are planning a beach day, you can distinguish between these two places based on their different described features.
Water also plays a role beyond the beach and harbour. You can explore the coastal area while diving with local diving clubs. The small harbour, in turn, is used by fishing boats and smaller watercraft. Thus, beaches, diving, and the harbour are all part of the coastal character, though they are not the same kind of experience.
What does the Trebišća–Perun trail tell us?
The trail conveys the religious beliefs of the first Slavic settlers in the Kvarner region. Its route passes through preserved hamlets in the Potoška vala gorge and climbs to the 880-metre-high Perun. In this way, it connects a specific landscape route with a cultural and historical narrative: the gorge above Mošćenička Draga is associated with the beliefs of the first Slavic settlers and the ancient cult of Perun. Those interested in history and mythology will find a different focus here than at the beaches.
What can you discover in Brseč?
With its narrow streets and passageways, Brseč retains a medieval character. Most of the town’s houses were built in the 17th century. Another testament to this period is the 17th-century oil mill, known as Toš. The former birthplace, now converted into a library and the “Eugen K” gallery, displays works by Croatian and international artists.
Which places belong to the municipality?
To help you find your way between the various places, here are Donji Kraj, Zagore, Kalac, Martina, Sveta Jelena, Mošćenička Draga, Brseč, Moscenice, and Sveti Petar. You can begin choosing a hotel by considering whether your trip is mainly focused on the coast, the Trebišća–Perun trail, or the cultural history of Brseč.
