Discover Gora Glušići

If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Gora Glušići, specific activities can help structure your travel plans: horse riding tours at Ranch Marconi, the Bella Vista cycling route, and the natural and cultural landscape of Gora Glušići–Tihovinje. Ranch Marconi is located in Gora Glušići, nine kilometres south of Labin. The duration and character of the options vary depending on whether you prefer horse riding, cycling, or exploring the landscape and local connections.

Horse riding tours at Ranch Marconi

Ranch Marconi offers four horse riding tours. For “Swimming with horses,” the tour description gives a duration of 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours; swimming equipment is also transported to the beach. The “Hedonistic” tour includes a tasting of homemade products. The tours described therefore differ both in the time required and in a specific included activity. Take both into account when making your choice. Tour offerings and arrangements may change; check the provider’s latest information before planning.

Bella Vista: cycling route and views

The official Bella Vista is a 30-kilometre cycling route rated “difficult.” The stated riding time is 2 to 2.5 hours. The distance, difficulty rating, and time estimate answer different planning questions; the rating is a separate selection criterion alongside the ride duration. Route details may change, so check the latest information before setting out. On the way to Skitača, Bella Vista follows a gravel road through Gora Glušići and reaches the Skitača plateau. From there, the view extends across Kvarner Bay and, in clear weather, as far as the outline of Venice. In terms of time, Bella Vista differs significantly from the “Swimming with horses” tour: the stated riding time here is 2 to 2.5 hours, while that tour lasts 4 hours 30 minutes to 5 hours.

Natural environment and hiking trail

The botanical reserve area of Gora Glušići contains habitats for endemic and endangered animal and plant species. The important natural grasslands in Gora Glušići (Tihovinje-Goli) are classified as floristic reserves; Gora Glušići–Tihovinje is designated as a karst park area. The hiking trail described in January 2020 runs from Gora Glušići–Vučići to the summit of Tihovinje. As the trail description dates from 2020, check the current trail conditions before your hike.

Local connections and culture

The hamlets of Hrvatini, Filići, Glušići, Katići, and Vučići are part of the Gora Glušići–Tihovinje area. Grouping these place names together helps distinguish the individual hamlets from the wider area they belong to. A traditional bonfire is listed both in the 2024 Advent programme and the 2025 Christmas programme for Gora Glušići. If you would like to plan your trip around an event, check the dates in the programme for the year of your visit.
