In the very north of Istria, just before the border with Slovenia, this medieval town towers over the fertile Mirna valley. In addition to its medieval town centre, Buzet is also known as the 'town of truffles'. In the forests along the Mirna all the way to Motovun, the rare white truffles grow alongside the black truffles! From a culinary point of view, a visit to the Aura distillery and a detour to nearby Paladini, to the truffle manufactory of the Karlić family, are worthwhile.
