Trail type: Botanical trails
Trail difficulty: Easy
The short botanical trail in Korte takes you through typical forest communities, such as the downy oak and European hop-hornbeam forests, intertwined with dry stone walls up to the hillfort above Korte. Along the way, you will see common ruderal species and typical species of dry habitats, such as the Nice milkwort, thyme, low sedge, rock cranesbill and large-flowered vetch. The trail south of the hillfort enters a cultural landscape where the traveler will see extensive vineyards and olive groves, and enjoy a great view of the Istrian landscape all the way to Sečovlje Salt Pans. In spring, you will come across the Spanish broom, also known as the rush broom or weaver's broom (Spartium junceum), that was in Istria and elsewhere used for binding in the past.
