Day 5 - The best for last Ucka Loop
We use the last sun-window of the week and make a round at the end through the Ucka nature park. Here at the summit...
...the shelter is opening and serving fresh coffee
On the other side of the mountain we make a short stop at the inconspicuous village of Plomin. Which was already settled in Roman times.
A stone coat of arms from 1532 still hangs on the old city gate. Diana and Michael enjoy walking through the old streets.
The view from the city wall down where once was the harbor of Plomin.
Michael in the catacombs of the medieval church.
A tombstone from the year 1667.
