Vojak Ucka

Highest Istria.

Vojak Ucka sits in Kvarner, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the viewpoint is the reason most people stop.

Cloud cover can ruin a panorama, so pick a clear day. A jumper helps, it is often windier up high.

Practical info

• Entry: check the official source before you travel. Prices and opening hours change, and some spots close entirely out of season.
• How to get there: Tap the map above for exact directions. In Croatian towns parking is usually signposted and paid, look for the blue P zones. If you are island hopping, leave buffer time for the ferries.

When to go

Plan Vojak Ucka for May to October, with June and September the quietest warm months. July and August bring the crowds and the heat; winter is cheaper and handsomer than people expect, especially in the inland cities.
