A village with another story.

The church on the hill
Kringa’s church of Saints Peter and Paul provides a familiar point of orientation in a compact village where the architecture belongs to the landscape.

The legend of Jure Grando
Kringa is associated with the tale of Jure Grando, a figure described in regional folklore as a vampire-like revenant. It is a story and legend—not a historical fact to confuse with the village’s real heritage.

Slow down on the way back
Pair Kringa with a visit to Tinjan and its viewpoints. Take time for the side roads, changing light and the details of everyday rural Istria. The journey is as much the point as the stop.
