Dobrinj is actually a city that is located in the middle of an island. The so-called “Lower City”, in which a number of houses functioned as city walls, is still a reminder of the era of the Frankopan princely family. Sacred and ethnographic museum collections remind of the times before and after the Frankopan family. After the city tour, how about enjoying a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in the central “Placa” square? Surrounded by plane trees, it represents the soul of this small town.
On the "Placa" there is a traditional tavern where you can try many specialties of the region - among other things, the tavern is known for an old dish from the island of Krk - homemade pasta "šurlice". These are homemade noodles and are served with and with goulash, seafood or mushrooms. In the past, they were only served on holidays. Today, however, they are part of everyday culinary offerings. We are happy to organize lunch with homemade šurlice, or ham and cheese wine tasting.
Our next destination is a grotto. A grotto on an island? Yes, you read that right. This is the Biserujka cave. It is not very big but it is characterized by a wealth of stalactites, stalagmites and stalactites and stalagnates. The grotto consists of several underground halls: entrance area, balcony, shaft, great hall, north canal, hall with bridges and cypress hall.
We end the day with an award-winning beekeeper. The family receives us warmly and greets us with a honey schnapps. If he's not at school, even the smallest of the family will greet us. You will see and learn about honey production, taste the award-winning honey, various island herbal teas, homemade cakes. At the end of the day, the family prepared a little present for us.
