SMALL TOWN, LONG MEMORY
A compact stone settlement with a remarkable cultural story. Discover Hum at an unhurried pace and pair it with nearby Roč.
Hum · ISTRIA
Often called the world’s smallest town, Hum rewards attention more than a checklist. Walk its short streets, pause at the town gate and discover the region’s connection with Glagolitic writing. The Glagolitic Alley links the landscape between Roč and Hum through stone monuments. Check access to individual churches and museums before you travel.

Before you go

Browse local accommodationThe Seven Waterfalls route includes demanding sections, ropes and river crossings. Check the official route, weather and local advice. A visit to Kotli village does not require completing the full trail.
