The road that runs along the eastern coast of the Istrian peninsula, on a 157-meter high cliff above the sea, about twenty kilometers from Opatija, is the picturesque town of Brseč. The settlement administratively belongs to the Municipality of Mošćenička Draga.
In the Middle Ages, Brseč was built on the site of a prehistoric Liburnian fortress and was ruled by the Pula diocese, the Counts of Devinski, the Counts of Gorički and finally the County of Pazin. The old town of Brseč enchants with its narrow streets and small houses with colorfully painted wooden doors. Eugen Kumičić was born there, and you can visit his birthplace. The old town hides other sights, and the most attractive is the tiny Oz Theater, which is also the smallest theater in the world. Viewpoint near the church of St. Magdalene, from which there is a view of Cape Šip and the sea in the distance. Located on a cliff, Brseč offers a view of the Kvarner Bay and the islands of Cres, Susak and Unije.
It's no secret that Kvarner hides some of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic, and one of them is located at the foot of Brseč at the foot of a cliff that carefully protects it. Klančac beach, whose white pebbles and turquoise sea enchant everyone who happens to be there, is only about 40 meters long. A beautiful pebble beach is hidden in the bay and surrounded by rocks.
There are no facilities on the beach such as restaurants, which makes it ideal for fully enjoying the crystal clear Adriatic Sea. You can reach it by going down a narrow street over 1 kilometer long or by car. Because of the narrow and steep road that connects the center of Brseč and the beach, there were big crowds and traffic jams in the summer. The municipality of Mošćenička Draga installed a ramp allowing only local residents to pass. A free train has been introduced that transports bathers to the beach and back.
This beach is a favorite of many and they consider it one of the most beautiful beaches on the Adriatic and you have the opportunity to watch it live stream live through our new webcam.
